The Four Agreements
Four agreements for personal freedom, from Toltec teachings

Don Miguel Ruiz, writing with Janet Mills, presents a code of conduct that he says is based on Toltec teachings and aims to help readers explore freedom, happiness and love. Its central premise is that a person's life is shaped by agreements made with themselves, others, God and society. The four agreements are to be impeccable with your word, not to take anything personally, not to make assumptions and always to do your best.
