He has expert knowledge of the ancient Toltecs, an indigenous Mexican culture of noble warriors and artists that lived around 1,000 years ago. The book is based on Toltecs’ attitude to freedom from self-limiting beliefs that may cause suffering in a person's life. The Four Agreements is a highly influential book. It was first published in 1997 and has been an ever-popular book since Oprah Winfrey endorsed it in 2001 and 2013. The book has been translated into 46 languages, sold over 8 million copies in the US, and spent over a decade on the New York Times bestseller list.About Don Miguel RuizDon Miguel Ruiz is a Mexican author whose work is inspired by Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts. He was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and a nagual (shaman) grandfather. His family assumed he would take on their centuries-old legacy of healing and teaching, and carry forward the Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Ruiz attended medical school and became a surgeon.A near-death experience changed his life. Stunned by this experience, he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He devoted himself to the mastery of ancient ancestral wisdom. He studied earnestly with his mother and completed an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. In 2018, he was listed as one of Watkins' 100 most spiritually influential living people.StoryShot #1: The Outside World Negatively Domesticates YouStoryShot #2: You Are Shackled from a Young AgeStoryShot #3: You Are Living in a DreamStoryShot #4: You Can Wake Up from DreamsStoryShot #5: Accept Both Death and LifeStoryShot #6: Awareness Is the Starting Line for Your JourneyStoryShot #7: If You Develop Awareness, You Will Develop Forgiveness Learn more about your ad choices.

There is very limited information on his existence.Lao Tzu was given the name Laozi, meaning the wise one or 'old, venerable master'. The wisdom is well represented in his work, the Tao Te Ching.
