The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom. Author: Don Miguel Ruiz

  1. Be perfect in words
  2. Do not take anything to your personal account.
  3. Do not make assumptions.
  4. Always do your best.

The meaning of these agreements is to destroy the prejudices that limit us. They have evolved in us since childhood, distorting reality and forcing us to suffer. Due to our upbringing and cultural characteristics (ideas about what is right and wrong, beautiful and ugly) and due to personal projections (“I must be good”, “I must succeed”) we have learned the erroneous image of ourselves and the world around us. Why then is this book so fascinated? The author’s talent is manifested in the fact that he can explain the four agreements in simple words and on specific examples. You do not need some special skills to put them into practice. Miguel Ruiz does not impose anything on us. He makes it clear that if he managed to master these principles, then everyone else will be able to do it.

The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts. Author: Gary Chapman

Sometimes it seems that the life of a couple is built on a continuous misunderstanding, and the dialogue between a man and a woman resembles a dialogue of the deaf. Why is it so difficult for two loving people to find mutual understanding? Gary Chapman, author of “Five love languages” believes that the matter is that we talk in different languages of love with our loved ones.

 

He distinguishes five ways that people express their love, the five languages of love. The language in which we speak depends on a number of factors: upbringing, the model of the parent family, the main character traits. We tend to “inherit” the language of love, accustomed to expressing in it and expect it to return to us in the same understandable love formulas. And what if the partner follows a completely different love code? If we want him to feel our love, we’ll have to talk about it in a language he understands.
