Né(e): August 27, 1952 – Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
Don Miguel Ruiz is a Mexican author and spiritual teacher known for popularizing Toltec-inspired ideas on self-mastery, personal freedom, and relationships. His best-known book, The Four Agreements, became an international bestseller, and works such as The Mastery of Love and The Fifth Agreement helped bring his teachings to millions of readers worldwide.
Don Miguel Ruiz built his public life from an unusual combination of medical training and inherited spiritual tradition. Born in Tijuana, Baja California, on August 27, 1952, he grew up in a large, poor family but received a strong education, studying in Tijuana and later in Mexico City before entering medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. After completing his internship in 1979, he practiced neurosurgery in Tijuana with his brother Carlos. The decisive turn came in 1986, when he left medicine and moved to San Diego. Guided by the Toltec lineage of his family and especially by his mother, Sarita Vasquez, he began shifting from surgery toward teaching, bringing a scientific interest in the mind into conversation with ancestral wisdom.
