Don Miguel Ruiz explores the concept of "impeccability of the word" as a simple yet potent prescription for countering the judgmental inner "voice of knowledge." Adhering to "the word" - saying only what you mean, refusing to speak against you - allows anyone to transform those inner tyrannical thoughts into a voice of self-trust and integrity. Knowledge then becomes an ally, and life becomes an expression of the authentic self.

Ruiz collaborates with his son to offer another powerful agreement for transforming lives. "The Fifth Agreement" encourages readers to see the truth, to recover authenticity, and to change the message that is delivered not only to individuals, but to everyone surrounding them. 248 pp. 50,000 print.
