Maybe all of it comes down to his native language and writing ability in English? According to Wikipedia he’s fluent in English and Spanish, so I’m not convinced of that.Īll of this being said, there were some decent pieces of (common sense) advice that it never hurts to hear again, see a couple of the additional quotes below. This may be from the over use of religious parables (Jesus, Artemis, Hercules, “the Master”, etc.) or maybe it’s just my projections of frustrations. For some reason as I continued to read this book, I felt like Ruiz was talking down to the reader more-and-more. It is probably a combination of all three. I really am not sure whether it’s the spirituality, Ruiz’ writing or the pretty much common sense Ruiz talks about. I’m not sure if it’s the deepening spirituality of the books or what, because Ruiz is very careful not to use only Judeo-Christian references, even if he chooses predominantly Western religious references including the Ancient Greeks. I found myself getting more agitated the more I read, thankfully it came it at just under 200 pages. I probably will because I already have it, but I can guarantee I won’t look into the fourth book, The Fifth Agreement or any of the other works by Ruiz.Īs I mentioned when I responded to The Four Agreements, this isn’t really my cup of tea and I think The Mastery of Love made that even more apparent the further I got through the book. I’m not sure I will make it through the third book in the collection.
