The Four Agreements By Don Miguel Ruiz
The Four Agreements is a self-help guidebook written by a Mexican author named Don Miguel Angel Ruiz.
Ruiz was born in 1952 in rural Mexico as the youngest of thirteen children. Nevertheless, Ruiz attended medical school, became a surgeon and for several years he practiced medicine with his brothers. What made him decided to change careers and become a writer and so-called ‘shaman’ is a near-fatal accident. Not long after his accident, Ruiz returned to his mother to learn and get a better moral understanding and apprenticed himself as shaman of Toltec culture. What was unfortunate about Toltec culture is that there were no written records whatsoever of their belief and their teachings. Thanks to a combination of traditional wisdom and modern insights, Ruiz managed to write down some Toltec teachings, which make up the book The Four Agreements.
The Four Agreements was published in 1997 and was a bestselling book in New York Times for more than seven years. The book sold more than 5.2 million copies just in the United States and so far has been translated into thirty-eight languages.
