Overview

Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements is like a life manual—a set of tools to break free from negative habits and live with more joy and authenticity.

It’s a simple yet profound guide to transforming your mindset and reclaiming your personal power. Let’s break it down step by step. Get the book here.

Why We Suffer

Ruiz starts by explaining what holds us back: "The Dream of the Planet."

• Think of this as the collective “rules” of society.

• From childhood, you’re told who to be, what’s good or bad, what success looks like.

• This “domestication” teaches us to live for others’ approval.

For example:

• Ever felt bad because someone called you lazy?

• That’s the Dream at work, making you believe you’re not enough unless you meet others' expectations.

Ruiz wants us to wake up. Stop living by these old rules. Instead, adopt four new, powerful agreements.
