It's a question we all ask ourselves: Is it meant to be? This fascinating book explores destiny vs. free will and delves into what extent we actually have control over our lives compared to what is predestined fate. This book outlines a key set of guidelines you can follow to help you get what you really want in life and looks at life choices from a high aspect of the self - the soul. As well as exploring the possibility that we have the ability to overrule our genetics, establishing free will over destiny. Many factors, including positive thinking and being aware that the groups we are part of in life can have a profound affect on our life choices. They can help us to all ultimately realise that we can let go of past mistakes and start to create our lives from the present. This book will help you to realise that by living more consciously, as an example of how we wish for our world to be, we can take responsibility for our lives and choose what we create.

Uninspiring!,
By David "David" (Lancashire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Destiny Vs. Free Will (Paperback)
Do not buy this book if you want to read an interesting and inspiring discussion about destiny v.s free will! Basically this is yet another book about the law of attraction which has been dressed up to be a discussion about free will v.s destiny. The author is expressing his own take on this but with no primary evidence that he has researched himself. Instead he seems to rely heavily on other author's research to support his argument but does not seem to bring anything new to the argument himself apart from dull anecdotal examples from his own life. I quickly grew tired of reading his rambling homespun philosophy.
The premise behind the title is that we all choose our own destiny, lifestyle and attributes before we are born and this is called pre destiny. Astrology and things such as the earth's magnetism are used to make sure we are all born at the right time and place etc. to complete our destiny. Once we are born we can use our free will to complete the destiny that we decided upon but have since forgotten. The law of attraction should be used to get the best from our destiny which is making use of free will and if this doesn't work it is not our destiny! I consider the last bit to be a complete cop out! The most annoying thing about this book is that I actually agree with the core of the author's argument that we choose what life we have before we are born in order to develop aspects of our character. I agree that the law of attraction and positive thinking can make a difference to a person's life. Personally I would go a lot further than the author and suggest that more things come into play than just pre-incarnation, DNA, astrology and the law of attraction. However it is how the author delivers the whole subject to the reader I have a problem with. I didn't expect this book to have the answers to life, but I did expect it to be interesting and give great examples of free will and destiny. There seem to be so many examples of destiny and aspects of fate in the news in the last few years alone that could have been used in the book. For example I have read about people who have survived one terrorist attack completely unscathed, only to be killed in another terrorist attack a short time later. Surely this is destiny at work! I always think a good book should encourage you to want to read more about the subject in some way, for me this book completely failed to do that. I found the examples so dry and uninteresting that I haven't been motivated enough to look at the references at all. The author seemed to be desperate to produce an esoteric book that was based on scientific fact. To be fair to the author it starts off quite well when discussing the significance of astrology and DNA however it soon becomes vague and seems to lose its thread. I thought that the aim of the book was to discuss destiny and free will but it soon turns into just another book about the law of attraction. There is also one laughable example when the author suggests thanking someone who is bullying you for giving you this valuable life lesson in the hope that it will trigger their memory into remembering agreeing to bully you before you were both born. I wonder if the author has tried it himself and just how far he is wiling to take this hypothesis.
