The title reveals it all. This book discusses about the four agreements.
The Four Agreements are:
- Be impeccable with your word.
- Don't take anything personally.
- Don't make assumptions.
Felt that being mindful of these four agreements can avoid lots of problems and conflicts. I loved the book so much that I bought a tamil translation of the same for my mom. Definitely worth the read if you are into similar genres.
There was some good stuff in here but if you are doing what you want to do all the time and don't listen to what anyone has to say about it, doesn't that make you a selfish prick?
The first few pages and the last few chapters are a mite touchy-feely for my taste but the meat of the book was very interesting/helpful.
