4.0

My Rating : 4

Thank you so much for the author and Writers Melon for the review copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
.
This book mainly deals with the three basic principles of defining our own destiny wrt our mind, body and even the day to day things we do.
.
The first thing I loved about this book was the interactive way the concepts that are discussed are presented. The style of writing was very similar to the Heartfulness way, and I was a really good fan of making a non-fiction book really interactive. You not only learn about the concept, but follow the journey of the author as well and learns about things as the time goes.
.
The second thing that really made me love this book was the pencil sketching in between! I never would have expected to see a visual representation of the things that are discussed in the book and it was such an amazing thing to refer! Not o mention the step by step instruction as to how to achieve the principle concepts that are discussed in detail. The research that has been done to derive the formulae , simple experiments that explains the benefits of meditation and the sketches that are the main representation of what we need to learn, was amazing.
.
There were a lot of things I absolutely loved in this book. Few of the concepts I really loved from this book are
- It is okay to want different things from your daily mundane routines. That just sets you apart
- Just few minutes of meditating can transform your mind and refreshes yourself
- It is important to remove the prejudice you have about anything before you want to pursue it
- It is okay to be imperfect and want peace through meditation. With the increase in our hectic schedule, we deserve that much
- Acceptance is the first step to designing your destiny
.
Overall, even if you are not a non-fiction fan, I would definitely recommend reading this book. I am super glad that I have read both The heartfulness way and Designing destiny. I have tried to implement a lot of things these book taught me, and even though I can't say I am the most peaceful person, I will definitely say I have the energy to withstand a lot more after my daily meditation!. I definitely recommend you guys read this book.
