Oprah on The Four Agreements

"This book by don Miguel Ruiz, simple yet so powerful, has made a tremendous difference in how I think and act in every encounter."
— Oprah

4 Agreements
Ancient Toltec Wisdom
I first heard about The Four Agreements when Ellen DeGeneres mentioned it on my show. By the end of the day, I had bought the book. By the next day, I had not only read it, I had bought ten copies. The next week, I got a copy for everyone I knew, everyone in my office. So far I've bought 410 copies! What I love is that you can't miss the point. The book explains how, as children, we're taught all kinds of things about what we must do and who we must please—and a lot of those beliefs make us unhappy. But you can make four simple pacts with yourself that will make a huge difference; if you can keep all four, you're in the bliss zone.
