Title: Everything in this book I learned in Cub Scouts
Review: Interesting, Ruiz claims to be a Toltec descendant and throws in at least three "Toltec" words to substantiate his claim. The book is a very fast read, I completed it in about 90 minutes. The four agreements (CAUTION - SPOILER) 1) Be impeccable with your word, 2) Don't take things personally, 3) Never assume, 4) Always Do your best, could have been taken from any kindergarten classroom poster. His writing is strangely simple, honestly it reads like a six grade text. Although one can hardly disagree with the four agreements, some of his imagery and related references border on the bizarre. His statement that even "if someone shoots you in the head" one shouldn't take it personally. I am troubled by the constant messages in many new age works which promote the abandonment of responsibility. Read the book if you must, if only to reaccquaint yourself with some good, simple tenets. But by all means, get it from the library!
