“If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn't walk away, you will surely endure many years of suffering with him or her. Walking away may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don't need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.”

What I think about it...
This book has given me great insights that I will definitely treasure. I finished reading it and I will read it again and again until it’s imprinted in my mind. There are so many takeaways from this book and I’ve read serious accusations against the author but personally, I can’t comment/respond to what Miguel Ruiz did or did not do. The teachings I’ve found in this book are so powerful and inspiring. This book talks about the four agreements that we need to adopt to transform our lives:
• Be impeccable with your word
• Don’t take anything personally
• Don’t make assumptions
• Always do your best
This is a must-read book for everyone. And if you’ve read this already, what agreement coincides with you the most?
MY RATING
★★★★★
