Toltec Wisdom made easyBy Magda DreamI became interested in Toltec Philosophy while reading The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz; several years ago.This is my 4Th "Idiot's" book. I like them because they explain any and every subject in easy to understand language - with clues and "Pay Attention Points" (my term) inside boxes; on the sides of pages.don Miguel wrote the forward so I feel it has been "OK-ed". There is Toltec history - where they lived; who they were; their beliefs and the philosophy they developed.To me; Indigenous Wisdom is true spirituality.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great OverviewBy Jolene BenneI originally read "The Three Agreements" from the library. I wanted to learn more about the Toltecs and scanned for options. This was a good choice for me. I don't know how it compares to other books on the same topic but if you are a beginner wanting a good overview of the subject this book by Sheri Rosenthal fits the bill. She even includes short "homework assignments" to help integrate the material into your personal life.
