A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery by Don Miguel Ruiz & Don Jose Ruiz.

In The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz reveals how the process of our education, or "domestication," can make us forget the wisdom we were born with.

In The Fifth Agreement, don Miguel Ruiz joins his son don Jose Ruiz to offer a fresh perspective on The Four Agreements, and a powerful new agreement for transforming our lives into a personal heaven. The Fifth Agreement takes us to a deeper level of awareness of the power of the Self, and returns us to the authenticity we were born with. In this compelling sequel to the book that has changed the lives of millions of people around the world, we are reminded of the greatest gift we can give ourselves: the freedom to be who we really are.
