Review

This amazing book is one of a kind. I learn so much from the author’s wisdom everyday and I’m so blessed to be able to read his books.

Some excerpts of this wonderful book

This simple yet profound book captures deep issues on mastering love, unconditional love, how to show and express love in different types of relationships and learning to heal the emotional body.

A lot of us carry deep seated trauma in us which have probably been passed down from our parents or from previous relationships which we have refused to let go of.

The Mastery of Love Highlights ways to heal and learn to fall in love with yourself first so that you can give love in a genuine and unconditional way.

The perfect book. ♥️

Review

Hands down, one of the best books I have ever read in my life.

Really.

I know I say that some books are great and all that? But hear me out, this little book is ALL THAT (big things come in little packages). I am in awe of how the author discusses these simple four agreements but shares some profound truths on them. The Four Agreements are:

  1. Be impeccable with Your Word
  2. Don’t take anything Personally
  3. Don’t make assumptions
  4. Always do your best

By reading and mindfully absorbing the profound gems contained in this book, I am learning to be careful of the words I tell myself. Words are so powerful in that they can lift you up or break you down.

I am also learning not to take things personally. What people do or say is a reflection of who they are and not who you are. It has nothing to do with you.

I am also realizing the importance of not making assumptions and communicating at every level of relationships I have with people. You do not know what goes on in the mind of another person so why assume? Communication should be present to ensure that you do not suffer needlessly.

And of course, I have been encouraged to constantly do my best, which may change at different stages in life, as change is constant, but to keep striving to do my best; in my relationships, the achievement of my goals, my career and whatever phase of life I find myself in.

This book is a blessing.

Verdict

A huge 9.5/10 FO’ SURE!!!
