The Life You Were Born to Live, by Dan Millman is a numerological book with a difference. The approach is somewhat similar to traditional numerology in that in order to obtain a life path number, one adds together the numbers in a birth date (eg. 5+2+1+9+7+4 = 2+8 = 1), however instead of simply breaking the numbers down into a single digit, Millman leaves the double digits and adds “/”, then the final single digit. In doing so the life path readings in the book go according to a number combination of the two-digit and then the single digit number, eg. 28/1. However, a 28/1 is according to him, a 28/10 as when there is a zero in the combination this means that the life path includes “inner gifts”.

I am blogging about this book as I just loaned it to a friend, having read him parts of his life path according to the book, and he, like the many others I have read to or loaned the book to, responded with a “wow”. Each life path chapter is broken up into sections such as ‘Working the Postive’, ‘Working the Negative’, ‘Health’, ‘Relationships’ and ‘Work’ and gives quite a specific explanation of the particular number combination for those aspects of life.

It is one of my favourite books due to the apparent accuracy with which the system works. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in finding out more about why they are here.
