“Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally... Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves.��

It's written in a simple manner, but it addresses difficult issues that can help you make significant changes in your life.

Ruiz describes the Toltec word Mitote near the opening of the book, which translates to "an illusion in one's head formed out of what other people say." He goes on to say that the majority of us have been living our lives based on the perspectives of others rather than how we want to see ourselves and conduct our lives. The first section of the book explains how each of the agreements might influence how we think about ourselves and how we interact with others.

The latter part of the book is dedicated to explaining the Four Agreements, which are:

1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Don’t take anything personally
3. Don’t make assumptions
4. Always do your best.

A section called "Be Impeccable With Your Word" was really helpful to me. This agreement covers how to avoid gossip, lying, empty promises, and other ways that our words might cause issues. Only express what you mean, and be aware that if you're not careful, you could hurt someone.
