I just finished this book today. My mentor suggested it to me after I had a serious breakdown due to coming to terms with the way my mother treated me as a child and continues to treat me and how that has affected the person I am today and my daily life. This book taught me how to start a life without those "lies" and "agreements" fed to me by my mother and how to turn everything in to love and freedom.

I have used this book over and over. It is an incredible resource and helps me to stay positive and focused no matter what life sends my way.

Ruiz has come up with four principles from ancient Toltec wisdom. If one adopts these four agreements, Ruiz argues, they will help bring a sense of peace and happiness to one's life. Generally the agreements sound reasonable enough: don't take things personally, say only good things about others, etc. So far, so good. But there's some serious theoretical problems that underlie Ruiz's plan. Ruiz seems to suggest that the self can determine the majority of one's experience outside of social context. He claims that society is composed of collective dreams. Even recognizing that Ruiz is infusing dreams with more importance than western culture generally does, it still strikes me that the message here is that if one has fortified one's spirit with these four principles, nothing anyone else says or does can strongly affect you. Maybe I'm too close-minded, but I just can't buy it. We all live in social and cultural worlds, and those worlds do shape our experience, whether we like it or not.
