  • Became a little repetitive...
This book was good and had some interesting premises but it could have been shorter. I felt after awhile the author was simply repeating points in different ways - I do have to admit I didn't finish the book as I didn't feel the information/theory was evolving. There were also some things about the theory that was overly simplistic - spending time nuancing the theory might have been a better use of the books pages. The world is complex, relationships are complex, societies are complex, and my sense was this author didn't address that complexity. ... show more

  • Basic 101 Freud Ego stuff .
I did like that is was a quick read . I finished cover to cover in less than 4 hours and I’m a slow reader. The content was just about OK. Very basic stuff on understanding the inner voice and how to effectively determine the value of it . The key concept here is the authentic self. Basically he takes the entire book weaving in some common knowledge around the awareness of what he call domestication ( your environmental influencers) to make the point your true self is not the “persons” who constantly provides your thoughts but rather the mind that can see through the false pretenses of that inner voice is the real self . A knowledgeable, discipline, sympathetic emotional mature mind exposes the authentic self . Basic self actualization concepts explained in a simple one way based on his concept of domestication. ... show more

  • Such a great book!!
I'm still reading it, though I am thoroughly enjoying it. I have almost every book in this Toltec series and they are all wonderful; such great life lessons and easily applied to anyone's lifestyle. They really make you take a step back and analyze your own life and behaviors and how you act and react to others and situations in life. If only everyone were to read these books, perhaps the Dream of the Planet would indeed be more peaceful. ... show more

  • What can an ancient tradition teach me about life?
It is so easy to feel powerless in this world. It's easy to feel like a victim of the pressures that scream for my attention. The voices are many, loud, and urgent. Sometimes I wonder how to keep my sanity and create a life worth living when the demands of the world seem to drain my vital energy every day. As I read this new book from don Miguel Ruiz Jr, I was inspired to question those agreements I unconsciously made and take back my power. He explains in The Mastery of Self, "Toltec means artist of life." Ruiz weaves a fascinating tapestry from threads of his ancestral tradition and stories from his own journey of self discovery. I love that he doesn't teach from an elevated position. Instead, he illustrates how it is possible to see my life as one of the many "dreams of the planet" that is creating the world at this very moment. He leads as a sort of fellow dreamer or fellow traveler with us all. After I read the last few lines of this book, I walked outside my house and saw the world around me with new eyes. I saw the possibilities to paint on the canvas of my life and create from the deep river of my own passion. As Ruiz teaches it, mastery is not some esoteric path reserved for mystics or renunciates in a monastery. Mastery is the practice of coming present every day, releasing outdated agreements about reality, and creating my own work-of-art life one creator's choice at a time. I feel more powerful and committed to my "life as art" after reading this beautiful book. ... show more

  • Ok
Lots of good ideas but it needs more practical real life applications. Saying "use unconditional love" sounds sort of empty throughout the book

  • l recommend it to any one who wants to get rid ...
This book is understandable and relevant to today's reader who is searching for a more enlightened walk through this age of Spirit. l recommend it to any one who wants to get rid of the mind games that are so distracting in our daily life.

  • Great Book
S someone that read the Agreements previously, this was a great follow up read from the Author on how to increase personal awareness of your emotions, perceptions of yourself and the world as well as where certain feelings and beliefs can manifest themselves over time where they turn into a negative for yourself. Also some good reading the masks we wear in the different roles we play in our lives. ... show more

  • Clarity wins the day!
Wisdom is one thing. Clarity in convening wisdom is another. Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. provides a clear roadmap to help anyone become his or her best self. His storytelling style makes his teaching very "sticky." You remember the stories and concepts together so they can impact how you stay focused every day. When I first read The Four Agreements, it changed both my personal and professional life. It did it because I could apply the learning easily. This is exactly the same kind of book. Thank you so much. ... show more
