The Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery

I love this book, it is perfect if you are struggling with mental health. Don Miguel and his Son, lay out consciousness and mindfulness in a very relatable and understandable way. The Four Agreements, which I also own is reviewed and reflected on throughout this book.I read it whenever my mind is getting away from me.

The fifth agreement - to be skeptical - is very helpful. It complements the four agreements very well and goes over them before introducing you to the fifth. Read the original first. You should always be skeptical of everything - but keep an open mind. It will change your life. Be skeptical of yourself and others. Take everything with a grain of salt. Definitely worth a purchase and you’ll thank me after reading it and taking notes and reflecting on what you’ve learned.

The second book in this series that I have read. This book, inspired by the wisdom of the Toltec People of southern Mexico,known as "men and women of knowledge" a society to explore the spiritual knowledge of ancient peoples.The authors, Don Miguel Ruiz and his son Don Jose are descendants of the Toltec and have devoted their lives to imparting the teachings and wisdom of their ancestors to the modern world, where we have all, unconsciously, become "Domesticated;" that is, we live our lives based on symbols that we have been taught and have then used as our belief system to live our lives. Unfortunately our belief systems are untrue, they are just made up, passed on from generation to generation. In his first book, Don Miguel introduced 4 agreements that we could make with ourselves that, if we could live by them, would release us from this domestication to live a life of truth, releasing us from the symbols that ruled our lives. The 5th agreement took the original 4 agreements to another level that provided an additional level of wisdom that would make following this path easier to do.This book is a brilliant in its analysis of how we live a life based on lies and in a sub conscious state of unawareness, and challenging in offering us a radical, yet intuitively obvious way to change our lives to a life based on what is true, understanding that the life story we create for ourselves will, to a great extent, become self fulfilling. So why not create a happy and prosperous story rather than a sad story based on lack. Doing this knowingly and understanding that everybody else is living a story they have made up (Unconsciously) and treating what they say and do accordingly, will help us to live a happier more fulfilling life.This book is capable, over time, of changing the future of humanity in a most positive way.Congratulations to Don Miguel and Don Jose for having the courage and the vision to present this to the world.:Lets hope that in time, humanity can grasp the wisdom and leave the lies and illusions of our current virtual realty behind us.

I recommend this to everyone I know, I've purchased extra books to give to others.

I urge anyone to read all of the book by this author. Truly life changing knowledge.

In many parts this is a good book. In some parts this is earth shattering great even mind blowing. But there a large swaths that are mind numbing confusing. It is still a good book and you should read it.

The Fifth Agreement is an excellent book for anyone looking to improve their lives and find inner peace. The book is well-written, informative, and easy to read. The authors' insight into the ancient Toltec wisdom is valuable, and the practical exercises and examples provided in the book make it easy to apply the fifth agreement in everyday life. I like the questions to oneself . “What king of messenger am I? I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to transform their lives.

This a nice read and it would be an awesome gift for someone who like to read
