 Suprisingly accurate
When I went to the bookstore and happened upon this book, by the author of one of my favorite books, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, I read the back flap and was totally dismayed. I tend to be quite the skeptic when it comes to pseudo-mathematics. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I figured out my birth number and flipped to the sections for me.
I was blown away as to how accurately the main hurdles I face in life were pointed out. I have a hard time imagining that everyone will find their life's largest problems in one single book, but for me this was spot on. Good advice and warnings were given. I really got a lot out of what was written. For comparison, I briefly read through some other chapters that were not related to my birth number, and they did not resonate at all.
From Way of the Peaceful Warrior I got Millman's concept of what life was meant to be about. This book is not about the meaning of life, but rather the specifics of obstacles on the path to discovering it. And for me, it was great to see that the hurdles I face due to my personality are not all self-imposed, but are part of a bigger picture; it somehow makes them easier to bear.
Thanks, Dan Millman, for another quality introspective book.

Whoa... ( erillabelle )
Very interesting and captivating. This was so on the mark, and I like that it's not just the typical numerology based sytem. Much more accurate. I actually choked up reading my specific life path description, there were things in there I'm barely aware of but I know are true. Now all my friends are borrowing it!!

Makes Sense
This book is awesome!! Not only do my numbers apply to my personality, but the numbers of my friends and family apply to theirs as well. Once again...thanks Dan!!

Your life's purpose is different than you think! Or maybe not .... ( future3books )
This book is amazingly enlightening to why things have turned out the way they did in my own life and also in the life of my husband. We're both 4s. As 4s, we understand better than Millman (I think) as to why we skip steps towards a goal and subsequently fail . . . not just once but repeatedly! So many times, I was willing to give up ever attempting a new goal again!
But then, ah, destiny prevailed and brought this book to my attention through finding Millman's first book A Peaceful Warrior in one of our local thrift shops.
Process, process, process. Life is a process. It's amazing how many things I have failed to do are demanding processes ... finish a quilt. Write a book. Save money. Lose weight. Everything, it seems, is a process. This is normally overwhelming to "impatient" people like my husband and me. We usually dive headfirst into the new endeavor and never look back until we've spent $20,000 on a failed business attempt, or whatever!
This is the most prominent enlightenment thus far. His advice is to break down the processes into tiny steps that each one by themselves can be reached! Thanks for the lessons. There are many more for us both in this book! I DO HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anyone with an open mind.

Amazingly Accurate!! ( mlfbahr )
This book was recommended to me. I had never read into or about numerology before. I am amazed that not only is the book 100% accurate about me, but also 100% accurate about everyone who I have calculated. Interesting...makes you think about the universe and the powers at be.
