BOOK REVIEW: The Four Agreements | Rating: *

This book got fantastic reviews and I'm not sure why.
I'm going to make this one brief. Imagine the Celestine Prophecy only astronomically more stale.

Let me save you $12.99.
1. Don't gossip
2. Don't make assumptions
3. Don't take things personally
4. Always do your best

Do this, and have a happier life.

And there it is. There are some good things about this book. For example, I have to remember that everyone is part of their own set of experiences and not to take everything personally. That is something that I already believed, but needed to remind myself.
If you haven't read a great deal of New Age Self Help books, you might like this one. Better though are books like Shakti Gawain 's Creative Visualization, which gives you the power to transform all of parts of your life, rather than using four specific agreements.

Now, I'm not saying that this book is a load of crap, I definately think if you follow the agreements it would simplify your life. But it's kind of like a diet. Any plan will work, you just have to stay on it.
