Since 1997, Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements has transformed the lives of millions of people around the world with a simple but profound message. Now Ruiz and his son, Don Jose Ruiz, collaborate with this sequel, The Fifth Agreement.

The Four Agreements provides the foundation for breaking thousands of “limiting agreements you have made with yourself, with other people, with life itself.” With The Fifth Agreement you recover all the power of your authenticity, which is who you really are when you are born.

The five agreements are:

Be Impeccable with Your Word

Don’t Take Anything Personally

Don’t Make Assumptions

Always Do Your Best

Be Skeptical, But Learn to Listen.

The fifth agreement is ultimately about seeing your whole reality with the eyes of truth, without words. The result of practicing the fifth agreement is the complete acceptance of yourself just the way you are, and the complete acceptance of everybody else just the way they are…

In this book, I am honored to introduce my son, and to present the essence of the teachings we delivered together over a period of seven years… We speak to the reader with one voice, and with one heart.

Don Miguel Ruiz is author of the Toltec Wisdom series, including The Four Agreements (over 7 years on The New York Times bestseller list), The Mastery of Love, and The Voice of Knowledge. He continues to share the wisdom of the ancient Toltec through workshops and journeys to sacred sites around the world.
