The Five Levels of Attachment: Toltec Wisdom for the Modern World
by Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr. —
Building on the principles found in his father’s best-selling book The Four Agreements, Ruiz explores the ways in which we attach ourselves inappropriately to beliefs and the world.
He explores the five levels of attachment that cause suffering in our lives. The levels are authentic self, preference, identification, internalization and fanaticism.
Accessible and practical, Ruiz’s exploration invites us to look at our own lives and see how an unhealthy level of attachment can keep us trapped in a psychological and spiritual fog.
He then invites us to reclaim our true freedom by cultivating awareness, detaching and discovering our true selves.
