The Four Agreements Companion Book : Using the Four Agreements to Master the Dream of Your Life
Amazon Description:
In The Four Agreements, Mexican shaman Miquel Ruiz built his teachings around four agreements: be impeccable with your word; don't take anything personally; don't make assumptions; always do your best. Now Ruiz offers readers a companion guide, making practical mysticism out of the ancient Toltec tradition. On the one hand this is an eloquent introduction to Toltec teachings, offering a fascinating discussion of how one's life is a dream (and a dream that's often dictated by others) and how "domestication" is the root of human suffering. On the other hand don Miquel has also written a Toltec self-help book, offering specific tools, exercises, and suggestions to help readers live their own dreams, become more attentive, and make conscious agreements with themselves. For readers who feel aligned with the Toltec tradition, this will certainly be a powerful ally as they begin the dream of transformation. --Gail Hudson

Review of : The Four Agreements Companion Book : Using the Four Agreements to Master the Dream of Your Life
Skylyn said
A turning point
This book, with it's simple, yet profoud philosphy, changed my life in very fundamental ways.
The Four Agreements are as follows:
Be impeccable with your Word.
Don't take anything personally.
Don't make assumptions.
Always do your best.
While these may seem very simplistic, the application of these agreements take conscientious thought. They have helped to teach me the joy and simplicity of living.

While I absolutely love the four agreements and return to the original book often, I found the companion book to be completely unnecessary. The writing style was poor and rambled in circles, constantly repeating itself. There was no new information at all. I seemed to me to be a way to get a little more money out of the concept - shocking considering the author.
I did enjoy the last few pages of personal examples from people who had incorporated the four agreements into their lives.
