The premise of this book was sooo up my street. I loved the idea and the themes within the book - but I actually found this book to be quite difficult to read. It was very dense, and took a while to get through. Some of the ideas were very complicated.
Overall I liked this book, but would have preferred something that was easier to digest.

Helena Land's "The Destiny Book: Rediscovering the Mother of Spirituality" was a fascinating read. It's only a little over 300 pages, but it packs so much thought-provoking information. I spent a lot of time within the pages and may go back and reread this again. There were a few things that still seemed a bit over my head that I'd like to understand more.

I found the section on selfishness and the idea of self as the sole source of our destiny very interesting. As well as her discussions on ethics, morals, and goodness. Land offers suggested books to read for further understanding, such as Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics" to dive deeper into moral choice and personal accountability. She also offers many references to Plato, Descartes, Freud, Jung, and more throughout the book.

"The Destiny Book" made me think more about my place in this world, my choices, connections, karma, and the direction of my path/destiny. I enjoyed it!

as someone with spiritual psychosis in my history, including revolving around twin flames, and being an atheist for most of my life despite being in a religious atmosphere, this book perfectly encompassed not just destiny, but how I really feel.

Through a blend of historical insights, personal anecdotes, and spiritual reflections, Lind takes readers on a journey from ancient times to modern interpretations of destiny. I appreciated how accessible her writing is, making complex ideas easy to grasp while still encouraging deep thought.
