The Poisoned Arrow

This new book from beloved author don Miguel Ruiz Jr. teaches us to recognize the ways that fear manifests in our minds, fueling the negative stories we tell ourselves. By becoming aware of our fears, we can change these mental stories, creating a life of inner peace and happiness instead.

Fear—the most destructive force in the world.

For most of us in the modern world, fear has become so normal that we don’t even realize we’re afraid. Instead of living in a state of internal peace, we are constantly telling ourselves elaborate stories that lead to mental anguish. These stories foster the beliefs that we are not enough, that bad things are going to happen to us, or that the people we love don’t or won’t love us back. Because we have been telling ourselves stories like these for so long, we don’t realize that they are stories; we mistake them for facts.

According to bestselling author and Toltec teacher don Miguel Ruiz Jr., these stories have one thing in common: they have all been poisoned by the arrow of fear.

In this book, Ruiz will teach you how to cultivate awareness of your fears and the stories that are fueled by them, how to make peace with the unknown, and how to counter fear with faith and unconditional love. Whether you are a longtime student or new to Toltec teachings, his expert wisdom will guide you along the path to achieving freedom from fear.
