review 1: Rating 3.5/5 starsThis was an enjoyable read. It was not quite what I expected but - like with all books that deal with life concepts - I took out what meant something to me and left behind that which did not resonate with what I believe. There are some great concepts in the book - I think I expected something more along the lines of the Four Agreements. I enjoyed learning about the attachments and where the different levels are applied in my own life. If you enjoy spiritual reads, this is a quick snack. It isn't a heavy read and there is something in here for everyone. Miguel has such a great way with words and explaining the concepts in layman's terms. Overall I enjoy his work and reading about the Toltec way. Final Thoughts: It was still a great read that held some grea... moret concepts and advice. An enlightening read.
review 2: A definite must read for any academic, politician, and …anyone really.We sometimes take on beliefs of others out of pressure to conform. Beliefs that are true for others might not be true for us and end up hurting us in the long run. Ruiz helps us understand the levels of attachment to our beliefs one level at a time while pointing out when attachment becomes a habitual pattern that cannot be broken. He offers a couple of meditations to help move beyond attachments by way of forgiving our self and others who have imposed their opinions and beliefs on us. Even when we move beyond attachment to beliefs that no longer serve us, it helps to respect the beliefs of others that maybe opposed to ours. He writes:"The only thing that separates us is our attachment to our own point of view and our attachment to the belief that others must share it. This is where we begin putting conditions on our love for one another, and this is the source of conflict” (p126)It is one thing to question your ideals and state them when needed, yet when you realize that conflict will arise from doing so, it may perhaps not be the right time to be too attached to your way of thinking. As long as we know that other’s beliefs have no power over us as we know our own truth, then we are free. Some causes are worth fighting for, while others, not so much. less
