Well, The Four Agreements is about wisdom that is passed on to - from the Toltec tradition, and the author himself is a healer. So it's basically how he interprets the Toltec tradition and the wisdom. Well, I was studying a lot of the spirituality subject and really got into shamanism, so this book came to me certainly when you Google or search for shamanism. It's basically a book of wisdom, so you can just see as it as - more like a self-help, new age type of book, and it's all about how you practice. I would just give some quick examples. I mean, it's very basic code of conduct with four agreements: Don't make assumptions, don't take things personally, be impeccable with your words, and do your best. I mean, how hard is that? And so he actually went into very simple writing to show you how to do that effectively. After I read the book back in 2001, I actually went ahead and ordered seven copies and gave it to friends as Christmas gifts. Now that I have done a lot of growing myself, I find that the book does not offer as much insight to myself anymore, so people who have been doing a lot of soul searching and spiritual development might not find this book as helpful. I would definitely give this book a four starts. It's excellent reading, and I think I will highly recommend this book to any people who are new to spirituality and to really try to grow yourself and to do some self-development.
