Gather initial thoughts and broad opinions about the book.

1. How did your understanding of personal freedom evolve as you read through Don Miguel Ruiz’s four agreements? Have you read other spiritual or self-help works that approach personal transformation differently—for example, Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now?

2. Which of the four agreements did you find most challenging to accept or implement in your own life? What made that particular agreement more difficult than the others?

3. How effectively does Ruiz blend ancient Toltec wisdom with modern sensibilities? Which aspects of his approach resonated most strongly with you? Based on your experience with this book, are you interested in reading other works by Ruiz—e.g., The Mastery of Love?

Encourage readers to connect the book’s themes and characters with their personal experiences.

1. Ruiz discusses how we form agreements through “domestication” in childhood. What early messages or beliefs do you recognize in your own life that may have become limiting agreements?

2. The book describes the inner “Judge” and “Victim” as voices in our minds. How do these voices manifest in your daily life? What strategies from the book have helped you address them?
