Concetta Kellough's Reviews > Wisdom from the Four Agreements

This short little book has some good practical insights. I especially like the idea of watch what you say and try your best in anything you do. However, some of its philosophy is definitely not Christian. For example, the author says, "Religion talks about sin and sinners, but let's understand what it really means to sin. A sin is anything you do which goes against yourself." (pgs. 18-19) It's a little confusing then when the author says, "Personal importance, or taking things personally, is the maximum expression of selfishness because we make the assumption that everything is about 'me'". (pg. 31) So the author thinks it's selfish to make everything about yourself and yet he thinks that a sin is something which goes against yourself. What about how sin goes against God and others? A little contradictory to my way of thinking.
