Fifth Agreement

A practical guide on the path to self-mastery. The Toltec wisdom book builds on the successful publication The Four Agreements, which it revisits, and adds a fifth: Be sceptical, but learn to listen! Did the popular book The Four Agreements resonate with you? Is working on yourself important to you? Then you shouldn't miss The Fifth Agreement, which summarises the previous four, but also adds the fifth. The first agreement was: Be impeccable with your word. When you are precise with your words, you will never betray yourself. According to the second agreement, we shouldn't take anything personally. This gives us the freedom not to concern ourselves with the opinions of others. The third agreement urges us: Don't make assumptions. If we succumb to them, we are asking for trouble, because most of them are not true. The fourth agreement reminds us to always do our best. And the fifth is: Be sceptical, but learn to listen. It is primarily about how truly we perceive reality. The result will be that we accept ourselves for who we are, and we can do the same for other people. This is also a path to inner balance.
