The agreements truly changed my life. I think of them every single day. This book puts emphasis on how to use the four agreements. I even bought extra copies to give out as "lenders" so I wouldn't lose my original one. I keep it in my night stand and refer back to it often.

Choose truth and love

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2023

Having read the Four Agreements did not prepare me for this journey into the Fifth Agreement but I’m happy to have taken the trip. Simply what is true and what is the lie - knowing and choosing love, respect, and truth are keys to the ultimate freedom and happiness.

A Lot of Food for Thought

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

After reading the Four Agreements, I was pretty excited to read The Fifth Agreement. I was a little disappointed, though, because a lot of the content rehashed the first four agreements, and not very much of the book was dedicated to the fifth agreement. However, it was helpful to review the first four agreements and see how the fifth agreement fit into the picture.

The book is split into two parts:

1. The Power of Symbols
2. The Power of Doubt

The five agreements are:

1. Be impeccable with your word.
2. Don't take anything personally.
3. Don't make assumptions.
4. Always do your best.
5. Be skeptical but learn to listen.

The authors talk about how everything we know is expressed in our understanding of the meaning of symbols. This meaning does not necessarily represent what is true about something but rather what we believe about something.

The whole process of self-mastery starts with self-awareness. You can't fix something that you aren't aware of or don't realize could be a problem. To truly master ourselves, we need to realize that we may believe in things that are not true. We need to question everything and try to get to the true meaning of things.

Some quotes I've highlighted in the book that I want to spend more time thinking about include:

• "You sacrificed your personal freedom to live according to somebody else's point of view."
• "The result of practicing the fifth agreement is the complete acceptance of yourself just the way you are, and the complete acceptance of everybody else just the way they are."
• "…every word in our mind has a meaning, but not because it's real, not because it's truth. It's just an agreement with ourselves and with everybody else who learns the same symbology."
• "The truth is that all of our knowledge, 100 percent of it, is nothing more than symbolism or words that we invent for the need to understand and express what we perceive."
• "The truth leads to self-mastery, to a life that's very easy; our distortion of the truth often leads to needless conflict and human suffering. Awareness makes all the difference."
• "The mastery of the human mind requires complete control of the attention—the way we interpret and react to information we perceive from inside us and outside of us."
• "Be skeptical is masterful because it uses the power of doubt to discern the truth."
• "Use the power of doubt to challenge every message that you deliver to yourself."

I'm nowhere near the point of mastering any of the five agreements, but having an awareness of them is helping me to be more conscientious of my thoughts and is helping me question some of my own beliefs and my self-doubt. I hope to continue working on these agreements, growing as a person, and improving my life by applying them.

Read the four agreement, but the fifth ties it up and sets it free

This book is a must have along with the four agreements, the message is truth and love. What we all deep down are searching for. It is explained so well and clear without judgement. A true masterpiece in writing and if we need a bible ... This should be it.

read this In two days, we are one. It makes perfect sense.

This is thought challenging stuff. It urges one to unlearn a lot of stuff we've been taught growing up and introduce some new ideas to one's way of life.

Having read the four agreements and enjoyed it so much I decided to continue with the 5th. I'm so pleased I did. Now I am aware and if that's all I've taken from the 'word' in this book and the previous one then they have accomplished their purpose. Thank you Don Miguel and Don Jose

This is just a book regurgitated of the four agreements. It's only new from p99. Very disappointed with this book. My advice don't waste your money.re-read dough Agreements so much better.
