A Great Addition to My Life's Toolbox - By: C. Odigie, 13 Nov 2008 
I agree with other reviewers: this book is worth your money.
The four agreements go like this: Be Impeccable with Your Word; Don't Take Things Personally; Don't Make Assumptions; & Always Do Your Best.
I read it again once I'd finished it because the four agreements can change one's life for the better. I've already noticed benefitsin my daily life &in my relationships (especially the one with myself.)
The author writesin a very simple way (no literary intentions here); & what he says & shares regarding each agreement makes all his messages sink in.
This book will become a literary-sleeper (if it's not the case already), just like The Road Less Travelled by S. Peck.
No Limits - By: Susan E. Finch, 14 Aug 2008 This was an inspiring read. The Four Agreements are beautiful, fresh, & uplifting concepts that one can easily integrate immediately. Ruiz believes we need not stay addicted to beliefs that limit us, nor should we strive for perfection, but always do our best. While reading this profound yet simple book, I recognized beliefs I had adopted since childhood that were basedin fear, notin reality. Being free of these limiting ideas allows me to live fully & joyouslyin the present.
Another book filled with supportive & effortless ways to live magicallyin the "now" is called " Being Here" by Ariel & Shya Kane. They introduce three principals that make living a brilliant life a possibility right now...without working at it! I can feel all of these authors' integrity & generosity on every page.
A 3 yr old could have done better! - By: Amigha, 02 Jul 2008 
Really, I dont undertstand how anyone could have given this book 5 stars...it doesnt even deserve 1 star! There's nothing insightful about it & even an idiot doesn't need to be told 'the four agreements' to know them. A 3 yr old could have written a better book on the subject. Pls dont waste your moneyin buying this book...anyone want my copy?
A very powerful code to live by - By: A UK reader, 17 Jan 2008 Anyone brousing this review who's considering buying this book; I'd ask the following of you;
Imagine that you have permission to be happy & really enjoy your life - that your life is free of internal conflict within yourself & that created by others?
Imagine living your life without the fear of being judged by others? - that you know longer behave fearing how others might judge you?
Imagine letting go of any judgments you have about others & being able to forgive & not feeling the need to be right or make anyone else wrong?
Imagine you no longer fear being rejected & that you no longer have a compulsion to be accepted?
Imagine living without the fear of being loved or the need to be loved?
Imagine loving yourself for just the way you are without the need to live your life through someone else's eyes?
These are the fundamental questions this wonderful book answers via The Four Agreements.
Its a simple yet very profound read as it opens up our thinking & makes us realise how much energy we use & stress we take onin trying to live our lives under the burdons of social conditioning. It makes the point so clearly that its not what happens around us that counts, its how we choose to set our lives up & to live that matters.
Why should we choose to be victimsin our own minds & carry around the weight of regret, hoplessness, envy or fear? Why should we shape our actions to constantly get the approval of others? - many who we have never even previously met?
This book has the answers. It makes the point that we aren't afraid to die but we are afraid to live & express ourselves. Its simple & it really drives the point home that we cannot continue to dwellin the past or to livein the future. We must livein the 'Now'
