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.

I picked this book up because I was travelling and wanted to listen to a light contemporary and I have heard so many good things about Kasie West. And this book Definitely did not disappoint me!!
.
The main character Autumn has anxiety and I think the representation of the mental health was quite good. The relationship between her and her friends was a treat to read. And although you start with Dax being a mysterious and bad boy character, he is an absolute sweetheart and I love him with all my heart !! ❤️ If there was one character I love the most in this book, it's Dax. The dynamic between Dax and autumn is done very well, and you can almost ignore the cliche trope the storyline has. The actual story is nothing new and can sometimes feel repetitive, but I loved the healthy relationship the main characters have.
.
I totally recommend this book to anyone looking for a breezy, light contemporary with some good relationship and mental health rep, good gang of friends and some cheesy romance !
