The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz

5.0

Never have I read a book that aligned with my personal journey so closely. For those that don't know... I have diagnosed PTSD, C-PTSD, severe anxiety, and am diagnosed highly sensitive. With those diagnosis has come a LOT of work. Fifteen years of it. In the fifteen years of work, my counselors guiding me [and me doing the work] have secretly been teaching me these agreements and lessons. The interesting part is, if they would have handed me this book and said, "Here you go. Here's everything you need to live a healthy, happy life." I probably would have laughed and asked for my money back for that sessions. What I'm trying to say is... Before I knew these agreements existed, I had and have been working on adopting them into my life. This book is real and exact in saying it takes SERIOUS work. Because it does. But in the end, this kind of work is the only work worth doing - the work of becoming a better version of yourself, and seeking a life of true joy. This was a beautiful book. Will recommend to anyone and everyone that will listen.
