Review
'...This book is based on Toltec wisdom, but stories from other traditions are weaved in, making it very accessible. This thought provoking book can give new insights every time you pick it up. I simply loved its simplicity.'

I loved "The Four Agreements" when I read the book over a decade ago, recommending it to everyone I could think of, and I think just as highly of this book. Both these books seem simplistic but Don Miguel has a great knack for taking "keep it short and simple" to the optimum.
I didn't mind that the first part of this book was a review of the earlier "The Four Agreements" as life had got in my way (as usual) and I had managed to lose sight of his earlier book and its insightful advice. The first four agreements are: "Be Impeccable with Your Word, Don't Take Anything Personally, Don't Make Assumptions, and Always Do Your Best." As I was reading about the First Agreement, I was feeling rather smug, as I am repeatedly told by others how honest and "impeccable" they find me. Then I got to where the book points out that we have to treat ourselves impeccably too! Oops, not so superior after all...
The new Fifth Agreement is an incredible follow up to the first Four Agreements. The Fifth Agreement is: "Be Skeptical but Learn to Listen." This can be done in a positive way and encourages us to doubt and question everything, even within ourselves. (Did you know that the word "belief" means "I wish this to be true"?) By separating the facts from the numerous illusions of this world that bind us, we can begin to perceive reality and unravel our bonds.
All five Agreements are wise lessons on living life well. They seem simple and basic, but are actually deep insights that offer a great potential of freedom if taken seriously; they can make life feel easier and happier for those putting them into practice. This is a great book, a book to read, and reread.

Great follow up to Miguels other books. This could be read as a stand alone book, but I feel you'd get a lot more out of it if you read at least the 4 Agreements first, preferably all of them, because in this book he takes you even deeper and pulls no punches!
Format:Hardcover
A master of the word, Don Miguel Ruiz brings the most profound principles into warm and simple language. The difficulty then, is not in understanding them, but in putting them into daily practice; made somewhat easier by the simplicity of his language that imprints on the mind in a poetically rhythmic form.
