Two of my all time favorite self-help type books are “The Four Agreements”
and “The Mastery of Love”
, written by Don Miguel Ruiz. These books aren’t your corny, far out type self help books. They are cozy and feel good, with a heaping side of personal growth. I could read them over and over again and never get bored.
“The Four Agreements” advocates personal freedom from agreements and beliefs that we have made with ourselves and others that are creating limitation and unhappiness in our lives. Ultimately, it is about finding one’s own integrity, self-love, and peace by way of absolving oneself from responsibility for the woes of others. Don Miguel Ruiz was featured on Oprah, so if you don’t believe me that he is a great author, take it from the queen herself!
The Four Agreements are:
Be Impeccable With Your Word.
Don’t Take Anything Personally.
Don’t Make Assumptions.
Always Do Your Best.
He has continued his story, in the book “The Fifth Agreement”
released in 2010.
In the book “The Mastery of Love” we are taught how to heal our emotional wounds, regain the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of playfulness that is vital to loving relationships. It is not just about healing external relationships, but it’s about healing the internal relationship that you have with yourself.
These books are quick read, and it’s good to read them several times. I hope you enjoy these books as much as I have!
