Books The four agreements

The Four Agreements (explained simply)

Be Impeccable with Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say what you mean, avoid gossip, and use your words to spread truth and love—not harm.

Don’t Take Anything Personally
What others say and do is a reflection of their reality, not yours. This agreement alone can dramatically reduce stress and conflict.

Don’t Make Assumptions
Assumptions lead to misunderstandings and drama. Ask questions, communicate clearly, and don’t guess what others are thinking.

Always Do Your Best
Your “best” changes day to day. This agreement encourages self-compassion—do what you can, without self-judgment.
