Owning Your Destiny by Duncan McLauren

Aimed at helping women regain self-confidence and trust in their future, Owning Your Destiny: A Woman’s Guide to Harnessing the Power Within by Duncan McLauren is an effective self-help book with a uniquely precise focus. Drawing from her personal experience and research, McLauren covers meditation, breathing, visualization, and other techniques she used to communicate more clearly with herself since going through a divorce, making the information more down-to-earth and actionable than other guides of its kind, while still emphasizing the value of finding one’s place in the spiritual universe. Told with a gentle, at-times humorous tone, McLauren is a soothing and inspiring guide, and while these techniques can be found in other books on the spiritual bookshelf, she leads by example with an engaging voice, offering a good starting point for those who need to shed life-long negative habits to achieve happiness.
