In this episode I'm talking about a neat little set of guidelines called “The Four Agreements” which are supposed to help you ease some of the needless suffering and self-limiting beliefs created inside your head. They come from a book called “The Four Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz, who says this wisdom comes from the ancient Toltec people of Mexico – and though it's a bit self-helpy, theres some very good shit at the core of it.

I also give a little background on the Toltecs themselves, describe their mental creation story (which one isn't mental?!) and talk a little bit about applying these agreements to my own psychology.
