Wanted to love this. I like the main ideas but it’s pretty redundant

overarching themes are helpful for an introduction into mental health however, the terminology is not always sound.
The four agreements boiled down to: 1. Words have power when you talk to others in yourself. The consistency of how we talk to ourselves becomes a core belief whether it's true or not. 2. don't take it personally or else you give the other person influence. everyone is just walking around, thinking about themselves. 3. making assumptions can hurt communication for yourself and others. 4. Doing what's best in the moment with the resources and information you have is all you can hope for. Not everyone will be as receptive as you like. Feel free to express yourself.
My Icks.
- terminology used for roles are reflective of freud - no new concepts
- ability to dream a new dream🤮 not acknowledging circumstances, systemic oppression and personal journey
- "we are addicted to being the way we are. We are addicted to anger, jealousy and self-pity."
there are good and bad emotions
- "there is no need to blame your parents or anyone who abused you in your life, including yourself" - people should be able to process past and hold people who wronged you accountable

I really enjoyed this book. Going into it I didn’t know what exactly to expect. Currently in life, I have been looking for some spiritual guidance without traditional religions or a dive into religion at its core and away from political agendas. I enjoyed the perspective of this book, sometimes blunt but needed.
