Talk:The Four Agreements

you best

This might not be the place to discuss this, but I'm really not clear at all on how one determines whether they are doing their best. Surely, we're always doing our best, aren't we, and that's it's only in hindsight that it might appear that we did not. --Rebroad (talk) 12:48, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Toltec Wisdom

This article presents the claim that this book is based on Toltec wisdom as fact. A "Citation Needed" tag should be added, or language should be made more precise to show that this is the claim of the book, not an objective truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2402:7500:569:59F2:6D7A:D3E:2C78:9CC1 (talk) 04:56, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm changing this to According to the author, the book is inspired by a set of the Toltec people's spiritual beliefs. because Ruiz has said that is redundant. Coldspur (talk) 06:35, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
