Annotation:
The struggle to make sense of the modern world can seem overwhelming without some kind of guidance. In this simple yet deep-reaching book, Don Miguel Ruiz presents a framework through which the reader can create a smoother path through life. Ruiz was raised in Mexico by a shaman grandfather and a curandera (healer) mother, and studied Western medicine before embracing the traditions of his family. He thus brings an understanding of today's challenges to his instruction from the ages-old Toltec wisdom. His teachings in this volume offer the four specific agreements, which can bring honesty and focus to our lives; the explanation of these agreements will place them in a perspective that makes them so natural they're almost intuitive. They will both simplify and enrich the existence of any willing reader with a desire to understand and embrace life's meaningful and important issues.

Author Bio
Don Miguel Ruiz
Don Miguel Ruiz draws on the ancient Toltec traditions of Mexico, where he was born and raised. His mother was a "curandera" (healer), his grandfather a "nagual" (shaman). In medical school, Ruiz studied Western medicine, becoming a surgeon. However, his life was changed by a near-death encounter in a car crash, which caused him to reexamine his life. He decided to study with his mother, and learn all he could about Toltec practices. He also apprenticed himself to "nagual" or master. After several years, he and his mother moved to California and they started making public appearances. His first book, THE FOUR AGREEMENTS, based on simple, commonsense tools for living, became a national best seller. Through appearances, books and tapes, a website, and his own center, the University of Transformation, Ruiz has become a major figure in the Body, Mind, and Spirit marketplace.
