The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

I like the 4 agreements and I enjoyed thinking about them over the last few days and probably will for a good long time. There's a lot of freeing wisdom in them.

But.

The front bookflap was enough for me. It was the TLDR and I wish I stuck to that. So succinct and somehow more practical and relatable. While I greatly enjoyed the lessons and got a lot of value out of it, I hated reading the book. All the talk about smoke and mirrors and stars and poison and curses and dreams made me feel like I showed up at the wrong party. Super uncomfortable, not relatable, and didn't feel true. I'm reminded why I never read this when gifted to me 7 years ago. This says more about me than the book, I know (see? I read it!)

But the flap? That's good stuff.
