The Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery by Janet Mills, Don Jose Ruiz, Don Miguel Ruiz

3.0

While I really had 0 expectations for what I thought I’d learn from this book, I will say I’m glad it only took me a day to finish. I picked it up at a random recommendation from a friend thinking it might be interesting. I did find quite a few nuggets of genuinely thought-provoking insight, but much of the time it seemed a little dense. There are points where the metaphors got so deep and entwined that I forgot what the metaphor was meant to be teaching/showing me. Honestly it felt like talking to somebody after they’ve had a few too many mushrooms, and for that it gets 3 stars (because sometimes those people do end up giving you something to really think about when you least expect it.)
