The Four Agreements: A Life-Changing Guide for Personal Growth

This books seems to infer that any abuse you receive is somehow your fault. Dear abuse survivors - abuse is NEVER your fault. Never. And it is absolutely ok to not be ok for a time while you heal. You also don't have to do that healing by yourself -- please don't feel like you have to take that on or that you are somehow a failure if you can't do it in your own mind like this author suggests. That is very unfair and dangerous of him to even suggest. There is help and real hope out there for you, but this book isn't it.

Also, for those who are of any sort of Christian worldview -- this book teaches that we are all gods (Also, he utilizes a capital G -- I find that to be inappropriate from a religious standpoint as well as a grammatical one, but I digress...). It also says that we can achieve heaven through ourselves - in our own minds.

Some of the things in the book are good, but then are immediately twisted into things that will ultimately hurt you. If you believe that everything is in your head and is your own responsibility, when bad things come your way, that you cannot actually control... you'll be sunk if you accept this worldview. You can't just magically "happy" yourself out of every situation; Pretty to think that you could do this, but not realistic in the slightest...

Also, the book teaches a very narcissistic and egocentric way of thinking that is arguably not good. It IS good to have boundaries, but to believe that life is "your movie" and everyone else is "secondary" - yikes. Does the world really need more narcissists?

There is plenty more to this one that I could pick apart, but I think this hits the worst of it.

Definitely skip this one or take it with a grain of salt. I'll be throwing my copy in the trash as I cannot even stomach donating this one.

Read it years ago and bought this for a friend. Simple message for positive outcome
