A Lesson From the Toltecs - Transmuting Our Emotional Responses

The Mastery of Love is one of the greatest stories ever told about the art of relationship. More specifically, the potential each of us has regarding the relationship with the self. Arguably the most well-known Toltec spiritual teacher, Don Miguel Ruiz is a Mexican author who provided the world this self-love story. Selling over 16 million copies since its 1997 birth, The Mastery of Love has been translated into an astounding 46 languages. It even had its feet firmly planted in the New York Times Best Seller list for what was almost an entire decade.

Why would Don Miguel Ruiz leave his accomplished surgeon occupation to instead share his sacred message with the world?
