Naomi Salvarezza, English 100 11/04/00 The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz is a very special book. Don Miguel puts forth many teachings Which are very enlightening. These Agreements in the book are a guide to personal freedom and happiness. Don Miguel writes "Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of Their Own reality, Their Own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you will not be the victum of needless suffering. " Don Miguel smoothly blends his native teachings with the hectic pace of the modern world. Teaching us how to live without all the useless stress and worries and how we can be clean in clear in our energy, living a positive life. Another beautiful quote from Don Miguel is "Find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want. Communicate with others as you can to avoid CLEARLY misunderstandings, sadness, drama. With just one agreement, you can completly change your life." I highly reccomend this book to anyone. It has helped me to become stronger in my spirituality and path. I know you all will find this book to be Equally powerful and lovely. My thanks to the author for putting out such a good and beautiful message.
