This book was a great add-on to the four agreements. I love the concluding pages and how the author has brought us in tune with our mission. If we focus on a different agreement each week, very soon all the five agreements will become our lifestyle and will need no effort.
This book was assigned to my women’s group, it was also recommended by a friend some years back. The book does a good job of shifting the perspective of woes and gripes. The voice is simple and straightforward, in some instances it reads a bit redundant. The agreements themselves are brilliant no brainers.
