The Voice of Knowledge: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace, by Don Miguel Ruiz, is a small, but mind-expanding book based on ancient Toltec wisdom. The Toltec society formed thousands of years ago near what is now Mexico City, in order to explore and conserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the ancient ones. An expansion of his popular book, The Four Agreements, this new volume offers more Toltec wisdom: Be impeccable with your word. Don’t take anything personally. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best. Ruiz describes his own spiritual journey but offers many Points to Ponder that will propel you on your own search for wisdom and inner peace. So what are you waiting for? With books like these to guide you, put your best foot forward and march confidently into the new year. The best is yet to come! Linda Stankard continues to be her own work in progress.
