The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom is a best-selling book by Don Miguel Ruiz that offers a code of conduct based on ancient Toltec wisdom that advocates freedom from self-limiting beliefs that cause us suffering in our lives. The book has sold over 8 million copies in the U.S. and has been translated into 46 languages worldwide.
Don Miguel Ruiz tells us that everything we do is based upon agreements we have made with ourselves and others. We agree about who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what's impossible, and so much more. Many of our agreements come from fear and have the power to diminish us and create needless suffering. Once we let go of these fear-based agreements that are subconsciously influencing our mindsets, we can make new agreements which will strengthen us in our efforts to contribute to positive changes in our world.
