The Four Agreements
by Don Miguel Ruiz
Three key ideas
- Do not use words to spread needless harm or to attack yourself.
- Careful speech still allows hard facts and firm boundaries, said with accuracy and respect.
- Weigh useful feedback, but do not accept an insult as a full picture of who you are.
The five 2-minute lessons
- 1.Words travel, so aim them
- 2.A reaction is not a verdict
- 3.Ask first, assume later
- 4.Your best moves with your day
- 5.Agreements with boundaries
