A brilliant book to start my new year.
Lessons learned:
-I am an agent of my life. I make agreements and live through the consequences
-the four agreements (be impeccable with your word, don’t make any assumptions, don’t take anything personally, and always do your best) will forever remain important guiding principles in my life’s time
-I must forgive myself for mistakes of my past, my internal judge continues to harm me so long as I fuel it with self pity, shame, and guilt.
-god is love?
-tell the people who I love “I love you” more often.

This book is so inspiring. Like all books in this genre, none of this information is really new or innovative. However, Ruiz worded his ideas in a succinct and digestible way. It's a pretty short book too because he gets straight to the point. The basic ideas are to be impeccable with your word, not to take things personally, not to make assumptions, and always do your best. It's not rocket science, but it touched my heart. I'm going to come back and read this again the next time I'm feeling discouraged or in a slump.

Might just be me but I didn’t like this book too tough. I underlined a bunch but most of it felt over simplified. Some people aren’t choosing to suffer some have gone through very traumatic experiences and losses. That takes time to heal through. I liked a lot of the simplistic ways to depersonalize everyday slights but big ones like abuse and death are not things we choose to stay stuck in. I struggled to finish this because of the extra unnecessary details and push of religion at the weirdest times. I’ll take what I liked and toss the rest.

This was very insightful for a way of thinking that seems almost obvious but not used. I really enjoyed reading this and read it within like an hour and a half. My only problem with it is that it tends to get repetitive like he is trying to meet a word count. I caught myself ending it slightly early because he repeats himself and paraphrased his own sentences over and over again. But, it was still a good book and very insightful.
