Summary

In The Four Agreements, a New York Times best seller for over seven years, don Miguel Ruiz revealed how the process of our education, or “domestication,” can make us forget the wisdom we were born with. Throughout our lives, we make many agreements that go against ourselves and create needless suffering. The Four Agreements help us to break these self-limiting agreements and replace them with agreements that bring us personal freedom, happiness, and love. Now don Miguel Ruiz joins his son don Jose Ruiz to offer a fresh perspective on the Four Agreements, and a powerful new agreement for transforming our lives into our personal heaven: the fifth agreement. The Fifth Agreement takes us to a deeper level of awareness of the power of the Self, and returns us to the authenticity we were born with. In this compelling sequel to the book that has changed the lives of millions of people around the world, we are reminded of the greatest gift we can give ourselves: the freedom to be who we really are.

Apply the 5th agreement to the book

Much of the book is a recap of the 4 Agreements, which is nice to review but is not fresh content. The 5th Agreement, which I will not spoil for those who don't know it, is a principle I already apply in my life and it's a good one but it's one that should also be applied to the teachings of this book, and indeed any teachings.
I enjoyed the book and I love the wisdom of it but I found some of the assertions to be unreasonable and found myself applying the 5th Agreement. As rules to live by, all 5 agreements are valuable and worth striving towards. I'm not sure how much of the expansion on the 5th agreement was actually useful or valuable, once you know what it is. It probably would have been helpful to do a deep dive into cognitive biases, as that is what it mainly relates to. The bible references/analogies and spiritual stories were a little off-putting for me but didn't quash the message of the book.

Thought provoking and life changing

If you've ever considered the insanity of the world and the way we respond to things. If you've realised that almost everything we stress about is nothing more than self initiated torture, then you will get this book. You have to listen carefully, to really get the concepts, but by the end of the book, you will realise that life need never be the same again. Life changing stuff if you care to take it onboard.

Back to basics inspiration

This practical guide adds to Ruiz' first book on the 4 agreements. It is back to basics common sense the Toltec way and can be applied by anyone and everyone. Truly inspiring and simple, and made all the more enjoyable when heard through the chocolatey tones of Peter Coyote's voice. Highly recommended.

Agreements should be taught in Schools!

When you speak/live your authentic truth, it opens the way for others to do so!

repetitive

I couldn't get past the first 2 chapters of this book. It is so repetitive it drove me mad. It seems there is one idea in the book and this is endlessly repeated in different ways ad nauseum. The idea is not even original. Very disappointing as I loved "the four agreements" by the same author. It is basically terribly dull.

Love this book

I absolutely loved this book - the philosophy is simple to understand, but so powerful. The reading was wonderful, too - calm and clear. It was great to listen in the evenings, or just in the times when I really needed something calm and reasuring. Highly recommend.

Good book

If you read the Four Agreements you will have appreciated how simple it all is... This the Fifth Agreement is not so simple - but if there is an issue with the book I think it that it could have been. Though the book is not long, it is too long loosing the focus it could have had, with that focus clarity would have come. It is still an excellent message and I highly recommend everyone read it.
