Summary

A very simple and easy read, Ruiz goes through four rules or mantras to live by that are actually in line with themes of critical thinking and emotional intelligence.

My key Takeaways

  1. Be impeccable with your word

  2. Don’t take anything personally

  3. Don’t make assumptions

  4. Always do your best (your best can vary from time to time but as long as we do our best and acknowledge this of others)

I would recommend this book to

  • If you like rules or affirmations or mantras to live by

  • You are into self-improvement

  • You want a great short read for an afternoon
