Summary: Changing My Life
Review: This book was recommended to me years ago by a friend. However, I was not ready to receive it. Now, my mentor recommended it again, and I decided to give it a try. I finally sat down to read it last night, and I could not put it down. I finished it in a matter of hours. So many things in this book make perfect sense for my life. Ruiz's relaxed and assured writing style made it a wonderful read. Very conversational. I have started to practice the agreements today, and I can tell you, I feel lighter already. Please pick up this book and read it. It doesn't portend that you should convert to a new religion. I found that it enhances and supplements my beliefs. If you are ready to receive something new in your life, this is it.

Summary: All these kind of books are alike
Review: All this kind of books are equal, the writer writes what happened to him and think that if everybody do what he is doing will be a better world. The book is definitely boring and it has nothing of the Toltec story, if you skip the introduction and you go directly to the four agreements and only read that, will be fine. Don't waste your time with the epilogue too.

Summary: Excellent book with fundamental core value
Review: The Four Agreements is a wonderful book which provides an achievable guideline to live a life of integrity and emotional fulfillment. The 4th Agreement states "Always Do Your Best." As thought is the basis of action, if we want to do our best we need to use Optimal Thinking, the language of our best self. For this reason, I absolutely recommend Dr. Rosalene Glickman's "Optimal Thinking - How to Be Your Best Self" (Wiley 2002). Glickman shows us how to maximize the present moment with simple questions like "What's the best thing I can do under the circumstances?" and provides the ultimate, practical roadmap to deal with all disturbing emotions. If you read both of these books, you will not only have the right agreements, but all the nuts and bolts to keep the agreements in place.

Summary: Loved every word
Review: This book is an inspirational guide to life much like Dreams gateway to the self. Belcher (the author) shows readers how to function in everyday life at maximum capacity by inward reflection of inner ambitions, be the whole of the half that walks about, and become the person they always wanted to be. Also recommend the Little Guide to Happiness.

Summary: Poorly written
Review: Admittedly, the tenets espoused by Ruiz are of some value, however, the problem is that the message could easily have been decocted into half the number of pages this book has. At times the explanations of the concepts seem so childishly elementary and basic, that it frustrates you to think that you've wasted your time reading the entire chapter, when it was all clearly explained in the first two paragraphs... This problem is by no means endemic to this book, however, as most self-help books suffer the same fate. Would it be too difficult to find something well written that also has a good message? Nonetheless, if you do choose to buy this book, don't believe you will be the recipient of some great literary work. Buy it because you would like to have more familiarity with the simple message that the other reviewers have summarised above. Simply that.

Summary: this book changed my life
Review: I purchased this book 1 year ago...the principals in this book are awesome! I have found it has not only changed my life but also many of my friends lives whom I have shared this book with. It is often the topic of conversation during social gatherings.Life is simply about seeing the good in everyone and in every situation. We as humans must pass this on by the examples we set in our own lives.
If every adult in this world read this book and followed the agreements what a better world this would be.
Thank you for allowing me to share.

Summary: Emotionally Freeing but Semantically Naive
Review: I found "The Four Agreements" to be a simple, peace-imparting book. Even in the process of reading this book, I was able to apply the agreements to my life. Before fully comleting the book, however, in addition to the very elementary language and many unsubstatiated points the author assumes the reader buys in to, I was distracted by semantics Don Ruiz used in communicating a healthy pysche versus a not-so-healthy psyche. He referred to a healthy state of mind and progression through life as "white magic" and an unhealthy state of mind as "black magic". This use of semantics is naive and disappointing to me because in American society, there is a shameful, inherent tendency to associate "white" with purity and above reproach and equate "black" with something being evil and defiled. Thankfully, Ruiz made reference to "white magic" and "black magic" only once in the book. I was able to overlook this unwise choice of words and finish reading the book coming away with some semblence of the core lessons the author attempts to uncover.

Summary: Changed my Life!...
Review: This book was amazing. It changed my life! I read the entire book in one day and I cannot even begin to tell you what a transformation has occured with me. The Four Agreements may seem simple to follow but they are not. You definitely learn self discipline with this book. As time passes the agreements are easier to follow and soon they just come naturally. A truly amazing book. A MUST READ![.]
