"The Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery" by Don Miguel Ruiz

While there are many people out there who are trying to aggressively promote their views of the world and force people to see things as they do, don Miguel Ruiz has taken a different approach when it comes to sharing his knowledge. 

Following the Toltec beliefs about life, don Miguel Ruiz has lived a long time and has seen many things, and he decided that this knowledge should not be kept from the world… it should be shared. And so he started to put that knowledge into writing, with one of his most recent works being The Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery.

Being a sequel to The Four Agreements, this book picks up where the last one left off and touches mainly on the subject of seeking the truth, recovering the power of your authenticity and changing the message which you deliver to the world.

Written by both don Miguel Ruiz and his son don Jose Ruiz, the main goal of this book is to persuade people to transform their lives for the better by actually looking to determine the truth behind the actions and decisions they make. Ideally, Miguel and Jose are looking to help people truly become not a product of their environment, but who they were really meant to be when they were born.

Naturally, every single point of view and practical advice is argued and debated as both Miguel and Jose know that even though they think they are right, there really is no undisputable proof in order to support them.
