DESTINY COMPASS Finding Your True Path International Edition
Know Yourself · Accept Yourself · Live in Alignment A Practical Guide to Self-Discovery Blending Ancient Eastern Wisdom with Modern Psychology
At every stage of life, people can feel lost.
In your twenties you ask: “What am I suited for?”
In your thirties: “Is this really the life I want?”
In your forties: “How should I spend the second half of my life?”
In your fifties and beyond: “What value do I still have?”
Destiny Compass: Finding Your True Path was written for these moments.
Author Marex Leung, with an MBA from HKUST and over twenty years of senior corporate experience, has also studied traditional Chinese metaphysics for more than two decades. Drawing on over a thousand real-life cases, he translates the complex BaZi (Day Master) system and modern psychology (MBTI) into practical tools that ordinary people can actually use.
This book is not fortune-telling, nor does it claim your future is fixed.
It is a life operating manual that helps you:
• Understand your natural strengths and blind spots (Know)
• Accept your true nature instead of fighting it (Accept)
• Turn your strengths into real choices and live in alignment (Align)
Inside you will find:
• Complete profiles of the ten Day Masters
• Practical ways to integrate BaZi and MBTI
• Guidance for different life stages (20s, 30s, 40s, 50+)
• Real stories, worksheets, and a personal action plan
• Chapters on relationships, parenting, and finding purpose in later life
Wherever you are right now, this book aims to be your compass — helping you find your direction, then walk your own path.
You are already enough. You only need to walk your own path.
