Old Town Gift Co. is hosting a special literature-themed event on Saturday, June 4, from 4 to 6 p.m. featuring author don Jose Ruiz, who co-wrote the personal growth bestseller The Fifth Agreement.
The free event is being hosted on the stage in the open-air Fiesta de Reyes courtyard and will feature a book presentation as well as opportunities for questions and answers with Ruiz.
“We are honored to have don Jose Ruiz to speak in Old Town San Diego,” stated Karen Abbott, owner of Old Town Gift Co. “His book and teachings have changed millions of lives all around the world and we look forward to hearing his new insights relating to The Fifth Agreement.”
Ruiz was born and raised in Mexico and at the age of 21 came to the United States to live and study with his father Miguel Ruiz. Miguel authored the critically acclaimed bestseller The Four Agreements, which sold more than five million copies.
The Fifth Agreement is the sequel to The Four Agreements and was co-authored by the father and son team. The book outlines a simple foundation by using “agreements” to live a more fulfilled and happy life. It expands upon the original four agreements and adds an additional agreement, which is “Be skeptical, but learn to listen.” This agreement teaches us to use the power of doubt in order to understand the real message behind words.
Old Town Gift Co. is located within Fiesta de Reyes in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park at Wallace and Calhoun streets. For more information call 619-297-3100 or visit FiestaDeReyes.com.
