Human Design: Discover the Person You Were Born to Be

I found this book to be the most useful and fun to read out of all the beginner level human design books. I like how it is organized and visually presented. I also like how at the end he gives you examples of charts of famous people you know to help you understand how it all works together and then he gives you their reading, well at least a couple page reading. The book goes over how to understand your chart, the nine centers whether defined or undefined, the five personality types, there's a whole section on your authority and how to work with that, then there's a section on the 36th channels, the next section is on the 64 Gates with his own unique name for them and they are also categorized within each Center, the next section is on understanding your profile and the 12 different profiles, then lastly he pulls it all together by a section called living your design.

I am a professional astrologer and several years ago I first stumbled across Human Design. I had an inner recognition that there was something profoundly insightful about this strange-looking chart that could potentially fill in gaps in my astrological readings. I wanted to know more. I spent time trying to learn about this system from the man who channeled it through(Ra Uru Hu) and his school(Jovian) but was stymied at every turn by the confusing jargon, endless expense, and dark, dogmatic, narrow and often negative interpretations. My inner sense told me that what was being presented was not clean and clear enough. At the time I was about to give up my quest I found Chetan Parkyn and this book. For the first time there were clean explanations that clearly showed the potential for liberating insight that would help me, and my clients, let go of the negative conditioning taken on from the environment and settle into personal truth and integrity. This book is a wonderful introduction and foundation for learning about Human Design and it is the only one I ever recommend to clients or friends who wish to learn more on their own after having a session with me. If you have never heard of Human Design before this is the place to start. If you know about Human Design already and are ready to jump off the Jovian bandwagon and begin to explore a more holistic, integrated and open-ended approach this is a great beginning but it is only the beginning. For me this book was the start of an exhilarating journey into learning more about Human Design and having greater tools with which to work with my clients and myself. For many readers what they find here will be more than enough to profoundly change their lives and provide fuel for continuing growth. Does this book cover every detail, perspective, and nuance of a deeply-layered system? No, but it is the perfect introduction and is complete within itself. With Human Design, like so many esoteric systems, there is always more to learn and after reading this book if one feels the call to it there are deeper layers, teachers such as Chetan and others, and self-experimenting that can enlarge your vision. I highly recommend the journey.

I ran my whole family through the software and boy oh boy did it open my eyes... I discovered a massive misperception of myself that has been more useful to my life than any other system I've looked into. Understanding my type, my (decision making) authority and how the defined and undefined centers work, are enough to understand interpersonal communication in a whole new way, and how to really honor your natural design. In my own case, I'm a lone Projector in my family with splenic authority and my dad's a manifestor, with all other members of the family being self driven types. This caused a set of values to be created around me that dishonored my type. I don't have my own life force energy GENERATING power. I MANAGE those energies as I tune into and feel the influence of others with defined sacral centers. I just called myself an extrovert before and thought all of that energy I possessed was mine. I didn't realized I had simply been conditioned to harness the energy of others and I need more breaks than I ever was allowed to practice taking in my family. I also discovered as splenic authority, my best decisions come through instant recognition, so the moment I know something is or isn't right, I gotta go with the instant knowing. Not so and think through everything, like I was taught to do. Since I've started honoring these aspects of self, I already feel better in my relationship with myself. I can see me more clearly now and identify and set boundaries with more confidence than before. I highly recommend learning human design and this book and the software are great tools for that purpose.

This was very insightful and a good way of looking into the human design First time for the first time.! easy to read

Es muy útil e informativo, pero hay cosas que no profundiza.

Brilliant book. I already knew a fair bit about human design so I can’t tell you how good it is for beginners but I think it would be. I find it helpful to have a journal and a copy of my design and then work through the book carefully

I absolutely loved Human Design by Chetan Parkyn. This book changed the way I see myself and others. It’s like it opened a new door to understanding. The way Chetan explains human design is easy to follow, and it really makes you think. I found myself going back to reread some parts because they were so helpful. It breaks down complex ideas in a simple way, which is what I needed. I really felt seen and understood through this book. If you want to learn more about yourself and how you work with the world, this book is a must-read. I highly recommend it!

Ich kann mich den anderen Rezessionen nur anschließen. Endlich ein Buch über die Tore und Kanäle, die nicht in "Hyroglyphen" oder schwer verständlicher Sprache geschrieben sind. Mir gingen mehrere Lichter auf bei dem Buch. Vor allem in Bezug auf die halben Kanäle, wie sie durch das harmonisierende Tor in einer anderen Person aktiviert werden, und das entscheidend zur Beziehung beiträgt. Alles ist gut gegliedert und so kann man ganz einfach nachschlagen. Es gibt jetzt auch ein Buch über die Linien, allerdings noch nicht auf Amazon. Ich hoffe das wird hier auch bald angeboten. Danke an den Autor.
