The Fifth Agreement: The End of Suffering
In this life-altering interview, Kathleen talks to healer and bestselling author don Miguel Ruiz, whose books have helped millions of people discover a life free of negativity and self-limiting thoughts. Ruiz gives us an in-depth look at each of The Four Agreements featured in his first book and explains how we are programmed to create a destructive internal and external dialogue with ourselves. (If a bad comment has ever ruined your day, you know how this feels.) With the “agreements”—which are merely pacts we make with ourselves—Ruiz shares the tools that can change this cycle and change your life forever. While they may seem simple (be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, always do your best and don’t make assumptions), the power of the agreements can be profound.
In his follow-up book, The Fifth Agreement, Ruiz tackles the final exercise to live in peace and authenticity: learn to always listen, but use discernment and be skeptical. What you’re hearing is just a story…their story. Now isn’t that refreshing?
don Miguel Ruiz is the bestselling author of The Four Agreements (a New York Times bestseller for over seven years). He co-wrote his latest book, The Fifth Agreement, together with his son. Ruiz’s books have millions of copies and have been translated into dozens of languages. For nearly three decades, he has shared ancient wisdom and modern-day awareness through lectures, workshops, and journeys to sacred sites around the world.
