A Wisdom Book
July 15, 2008
One of my favourite books in the world is here on the bookshelf and also in the lending library at P’lovers. Upon my discovery of this book I began to sing it’s praises to one and all. I have purchased it for many of the important people in my life because I feel the need to share it.
The message is one of simplicity and one that bears repeating.
The Four Agreements are as follows:
- Be impeccable with your word
- Don’t take anything personally
- Don’t make assumptions
- Always do your best.
What more can I say, words would just get in the way.
For Christmas my daughter donated a copy of The Four Agreements to our local library in my name. I was touched, proud and happy to be able to share this meaningful message to others.
It is a book I refer to often when life becomes a little heavy or I feel I need a touchstone. Now I pass this wonderful book and it’s message on to you. Please drop by and peruse a copy, pick one up or borrow the copy in our lending library.
I promise you will not be disappointed.

From the Author
Everything we do is based on agreements we have made - agreements with ourselves, with other people, with God, with life. But the most important agreements are the ones we make with ourselves. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to behave, what is possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is not such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear, deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth.”
In this powerful book that has remained on The New York Times Bestseller List for over eight years, don Miguel reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. When we are ready to change these agreements, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements that we can adopt as guiding principles. The Four AgreementsĀ® offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
