Few understand the difficult work of overcoming trauma, abuse, and addiction better than don Jose Ruiz.

In My Good Friend the Rattlesnake, Ruiz, now a bestselling author and spiritual teacher, reveals the dramatic twists and turns he experienced on his own path to personal freedom and inner transformation. Through this series of deeply intimate stories, he explains how he overcame his addiction to suffering and embraced a life of love, clarity, and self-awareness.

In one example, Ruiz recounts his unexpected journey with temporary blindness, which paradoxically allowed him to see what truly mattered. In another, he celebrates individuality in spiritual practice, challenging the idea that it must look or sound a particular way to be authentic.

Throughout, Ruiz incorporates the teachings of his father, don Miguel Ruiz (author of The Four Agreements). The lessons he shares are practical, profound, and accessible, making this book an essential companion for anyone seeking spiritual growth and emotional healing.

Honest, vulnerable, and rich with exercises and meditations, My Good Friend the Rattlesnake redefines what it means to heal, grow, and live authentically.

I found this memoir/self-help book very refreshing. He get’s into the nitty gritty of his ups and downs in life and illustrates his inner dialogue through many challenges.
I found that to be very helpful and humbling. Different than other books that briefly provide an overview of an authors challenges and then gets into a secret formula to make your life amazing, this book provides an example of change and encourages the reader to find their own way. There is no fast track to enlightenment and it may not come all at once, but progress is progress and the stepping stone to happiness.
I scored performance low because it was someone who cannot pronounce words appropriately in Spanish. He butchered Teotihuacán and many other words. It was cringe in those moments. Otherwise the performance was ok.

don José’s story really moved me
