The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz is often described as life-changing, but I found it surprisingly underwhelming. While the four principles—be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make assumptions, and always do your best—are meaningful, they’re presented in a way that feels overly simplistic and repetitive. The writing feels basic, almost like reading the thoughts of an adolescent who’s just discovered these ideas and is eager to share, but without much depth or nuance. It’s not a bad book, but given all the hype, I expected something more profound or thought-provoking. Instead, it left me feeling a bit disappointed and unfulfilled.

Very decent book but very narrow minded. This may be the point though due to the potential requirement of specificity and repetition. Not exactly the most profitable read but helps many people understand that we do have a power and control over ourselves. Unfortunately it is pretty dramatic in instances where it does not need to be and can either confuse or deter the reader from fully understanding what it is trying to teach. Decent overall, good in areas, great in others, but not completely an optimal use of time.

This book has some valid and potent points. Anyone at any level can see improvements in their lives by combining the basic principles outlined in the book. I cannot get over the fact that the writing in the book is poor and it is terribly repetitive. Also it's basis is in Native American beliefs which are very intertwined with nature etc, which can blur its positive message. If you can get past the poor writing, good read.
