Yulia, 1/18/01 MUST HAVE BOOK!
One day I start my AOL and see email from AMAZON giving me free any book up to 15 dollars :). I go on AMAZON.com and on the very first page see the book "Four agreements" by Don Miguel. I was too lazy to search more and bought it right away. It came 4 days later, my boyfriend was out of town, so I decided I will read it at night. I didn't go to sleep at all, I finished book before the sun was up and was crying, O my God, it was about me. And for me, coming from completely different culture (I am from Russia), it is like magic! I am very happy person whatsoever, so to me it was not about to become happy. But the concept of me living responsable and you living responsable, and the whole Universe will change. I have already started, what about you?
Y. L. Freeman CCHt, 7/27/2000 A Book of Pure Truth That Makes The Soul Weep!
Working with many people I see what programming from parents, society, religion and humanity in general has done to destroy our minds, close our hearts and keep us from dicovering who we really are in relationship to God and all things. This book, The Four Agreements is one the best books of many I've read that is not afraid to share pure truth. Truth that no one can deny when they take it into their soul.
Thank you Don Miguel Ruiz for sharing the pure truth of the matter with humanity. Our souls honor you and send you blessings on your path.
I love the audio version read by Peter Coyote. What power the spoken word has when you close your eyes and let it speak to your soul.

This deceptively simple book based in Toltec precepts can literally transform your life. I say deceptive because when you read it, it seems so simple. Yet if you really incorporated these four tenents into your life I guarantee nothing would ever be the same. I encourage you the reader to take the challenge...enjoy, read and grow!

About the Author:
Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers, and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and a nagual grandfather. The family anticipated that Miguel would embrace their centuries-old legacy of healing and teaching, and carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon.
A near-death experience changed his life. Late one night in the early 1970's, he awoke suddenly, having fallen asleep at the wheel of his car. At that instant the car careened into a wall of concrete. Don Miguel remembers that he was not in his physical body as he pulled his two friends to safety.
Stunned by this experience, he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying earnestly with his mother and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. His grandfather, who had since passed on, continued to teach him in his dreams.
In the tradition of the Toltec, a nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Don Miguel Ruiz is a nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, and is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of the teachings of the ancient Toltec.
