![The Fifth Agreement: A Practical Guide to Self-Mastery (A Toltec Wisdom Book) by [Ruiz, Don Miguel, Ruiz, Don Jose , Mills, Janet]](http://web.archive.org./web/20200117143138im_/https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51kyuhfIq8L._SY346_.jpg)
Like so many others, I got a lot of valuable guidance from The Four Agreements. But it all comes home in this book by don Jose Ruiz. This is the goal. This is the understanding of the goal. This is the understanding of the barriers to the goal. If this book doesn't inspire and give you the understanding to get your shovel and clear the pile of debris hiding your real, shining and pure identity, I've no idea what would!
If you never read The Four Agreements, they are discussed, each in its own chapter in The Fifth Agreement - and with a depth and clarity that goes beyond the author's fathers original work that so many of us treasure.
If you are buying just one book on personal/spiritual development, this is the book to get.
