The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Summary

Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the four agreements are suggestions for the promises one makes with oneself. By embodying this wisdom, you can break free from self-limiting beliefs and behaviors and ultimately lead a more fulfilling life. 

In short, they are: be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best.

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