In The Voice of Knowledge, Miguel Ruiz reminds us of a profound and simple truth: The only way to end our emotional suffering and restore our joy in living is to stop believing in lies — mainly about ourselves. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, this breakthrough book shows us how to recover our faith in the truth and return to our own common sense.
Ruiz changes the way we perceive ourselves, and the way we perceive other people. Then he opens the door to a reality that we once perceived when we were one and two years old — a reality of truth, love, and joy.
"We are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. . . . One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection." — don Miguel Ruiz

From the Author
From the Inside Flap
With our attention focused on all the knowledge in our head, we no longer perceive the world through the eyes of love; we only perceive what we have learned to believe. The voice of knowledge comes alive inside our head, and what is that voice telling us? Mostly lies. That voice never stops talking, judging, gossiping, and abusing us. It constantly sabotages our happiness and keeps us from enjoying a reality of truth and love.
Ruiz shows us how to recover the silent voice of our integrity and find inner peace. When the voice of knowledge no longer controls us, our life becomes an expression of our authentic self, just as it was before we learned to speak. Then we return to the truth, we return to love, and we live in happiness again.
From the Back Cover

About the Author
A near-death experience changed his life. Late one night in the early 1970s, he awoke suddenly, having fallen asleep at the wheel of his car. At that instant the car careened into a wall of concrete. Don Miguel remembers that he was not in his physical body as he watched himself pull his two friends to safety.
Stunned by this experience, he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying earnestly with his mother, and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. His grandfather, who had since passed on, continued to teach him in his dreams.
In the tradition of the Toltec, a nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Don Miguel Ruiz, a nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, has dedicated his life to sharing the wisdom of the ancient Toltec.

It is yet another attempt by Ruiz to help people regain faith in themselves and to see the truth while letting go of preconceptions and lies that hold us back and make us suffer pointlessly. Anyone who makes a genuine effort will agree that he succeeds in giving anyone many wonderful psychological tools for precisely this purpose.
We are all stronger and more capable than we realize--just give your best effort and you'll realize it's true.

Though, this book is more in-depth and does touch on the Four Agreements towards the end with Be Impeccable With Your Words. Don’t Take Things Personally, Don’t Make Assumptions and Always Do Your Best.
The book is a good read, making us aware that the voice we have in our heads, those negative voices about ourselves, the ones that makes us think we are not good enough or those that bombard us with confusion preventing us to move forward are just lies.
It is an eye opener for those not aware of these voices and to make changes to better yourself.
I find the Points to Ponder Section he has on each of its Chapters useful and something I hope I will learn to make a difference to my life.
