Amazon.com Review

Why push a rock uphill when you can discover your particular karmic path and follow it straight to the top? Knowing which way to turn just became easier with The Secret Language of Destiny, cosmologist Gary Goldschneider's latest addition to the Secret Language series (The Secret Language of Birthdays, The Secret Language of Relationships). This weighty compendium of wisdom delights with its handsome design by Joost Elffers, and provides hours of entertainment as you peruse the 1,300 photos and birthdays of VIPs. A database of 7,500 famous folks was analyzed to produce the karmic path descriptions, and gifts, goals, and lessons for each of the 48 paths are clearly illuminated, as are the pitfalls to avoid. Up front are 52 astrological descriptions of personality characteristics for the week of birth. The Secret Language of Destiny is immensely useful and fun for the whole family. --P. Randall Cohan


Product Description

From the creators of the bestselling Secret Language series comes the key to the meaning of life

Following the phenomenal success of The Secret Language of Birthdays and The Secret Language of Relationships, Joost Elffers and Gary Goldschneider have created a book that seeks to answer the question, "Why am I here?" Just as the first books in the series explored an individual's relationship with both the self and with others, The Secret Language of Destiny explores one's relationship with the universe and what one is fated to accomplish. Based on an individual's date of birth, the book reveals what each person came into this life to achieve, what lesson is to be learned, and what goal is to be embraced. Destiny is divided into 48 karmic paths--from The Way of Expression to the Way of Transcendence. Each path outlines the purpose of individuals born on that path, what pitfalls are to be avoided, and how the journey on that path affects every area of life from work to love.

Complete with 1500 black-and-white photographs and 2000 pieces of decorative line art, this is the ultimate sourcebook for answering one of life's great questions. Beautiful, intelligent, and thoughtful, The Secret Language of Destiny will delight fans of the Secret Language books, spiritual seekers, and anyone who has contemplated their purpose in life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but best used as a coffee-table book, March 12, 2001
By A Customer
There's quite a few negative reviews of this book on here that say "Don't buy this book because only 8-10 pages will actually pertain to you in particular." While this is true, I think this criticism is a bit narrow-minded. That's like saying a dictionary sucks because it "defines all these other words that you'll never ever have to look up in your entire life."

Part of the appeal of this book is that its information applies to everyone. If you want a book that only talks about you and your life, I'd suggest buying something else that only deals with your zodiac sign. The Secret Language of Destiny is meant more as a coffe-table book, something used to spark discussion between you and some friends. It's really fun to say to somebody, "Hey, here's what this book says about your destiny. Does any of this apply to your life?" Most of the time the karmic paths (which are base on birth date and year) are eerily accurate. I wouldn't say they're constantly dead-on, but I think that for most people there'll be enough similarities listed to at least get them thinking.

A good pick-up if you get a kick out of seeing if the personalities of your friends match up with the personality profiles of their zodiac signs.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you ever have to know about your destiny!, December 7, 1999
By caroline (philly, pa) - See all my reviews
This book drew me to it immediately since I have taken such intense interest in the previous books written by these authors. Each section of this book is broken down according to your date of birth (probably according to numerology). Each different section describes what "way" you are headed to; what direction your life is in and what challenges (external and internal) you must face. Then, each birthweek within those sections explains how your "way" works with your astrological decanate. As soon as you start to read about your main spiritual and/or mental goal in life, all the other details described hauntingly fall correctly into place. This book will help you to focus on your true path in life and key you into your personal attributes that work in your favor or are detrimental to your happiness. It has made me much more positive about where I am headed and allowed me to take pride in my misgivings and learn to deal with them without losing site of who I am supposed to be. A definite yes for anyone who needs a little boost in his/her positivity. I LOVE IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars ASTONISHINGLY ACCURATE., November 27, 2002
By "scotsladdie" (GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
My wife and I were AMAZED at the truths found in this book. For instance, I am a "Sagittarius II". Original, eccentric, kooky and eclectic. For years, in my youth, I sought acceptance by being a "people pleaser" type: I wanted to be accepted by "trying too hard". When I forgot about success & popularity (as the book states) in my late twenties, it suddenly found me, as if by magic! On a lighter note, because I am definitely an off-the-wall personality, I found life is much easier once I accepted this fact and by surrounding myself with friends who encourage/appreciate my zany/whacko way of seeing things. By letting go of our ego, our garden of positive thoughts, i.e. our REAL SELVES come into fruitation. Because we are all given particular gifts and idiosyncrasies, the book guides us all according to our own particular character traits! A bravura work. I agree with another reviewer in that these guys really ARE onto something!
