I read this book a few years ago, I also have the companion book, which i didn't read. The book was quite inspiring and i read it during a very hard time in my life. It helped give me a different outlook on certain problems and difficulties i was having in my life.
I think though, its a hit or miss with some people. Some may like its very Depak Chopraish.. and some may think its fru fru.. Either way, i would recommend it. It helped me in any case! The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom - Anais Nin

I read that book back in college and it helped me a ton. Of course now I have no idea where the darn book is and I would really like to read it again.  | |

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. 2. Don't Take Anything Personally Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. 3. Don't Make Assumptions Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. 4. Always Do Your Best Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. don't make the assumption that your post is typo-free and you will completely transform your org life  [Edited 5/15/07 11:50am] The Normal Whores Club | |

One of my friends read this book a while ago. I've never checked it out, but those 4 agreements are wonderful. Anyone could learn to use them more. Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |
