Did you know that fingerprints fall into a few main types? There are 4 main types of fingerprints and a few variations of these. This book explores how the exact combination of fingerprint types you are born with, and the fingers they happen to be on, has something to say about who you are: an interesting concept.
For some this may sound a bit "out there", but I wanted to give it a chance, and I'm glad I did! I fingerprinted and tested out the fingerprint-pattern-interpretations on 4 different people and found the book's interpretations to be quite spot on. In some cases, spookily accurate.
By telling you your "Life Purpose", it doesn't tell you what job you ought to do; Rather, it tells you what core values motivate you. eg. You may be driven by a deep need to innovate ("The Innovator"); or you may be driven by a strong desire to express yourself to others ("The Artist / Individualist"); or you may be driven by the need to see results and success ("Master of Results") or by a strong urge to mentor / teach / help others ("The Mentor / Healer"). Altogether there are 14 main types of Life Purpose most people tend to fall into according to this method of classification; and often one person may have a combination of more than one purpose that make up their individual picture of what they want out of life.
I enjoyed reading this book; it provided some interesting psychological insights to other people's behaviours as well as highlighting some personal tendencies. I admit having a few "Aha" moments. It doesnt really delve deeply into HOW to change your ways if you're in a "challenge state"; it just identifies which general-direction would probably feel most fulfilling for you.
On the "room for improvement" side, I struggled a bit with finding the important points amidst the wordy, sometimes repetitive prose. I felt the book could have been written more concisely, with a more bullet-point-esque layout. Maybe some kind of summary table giving the gist of a Life Purpose type would have been helpful for quick-reference and easy comparison between types. Also here and there I spotted a few limiting beliefs held by the author which didnt resonate with me as being true; and here and there the wording used included "you should / you must / you need to") which grated on me slightly.
All in all, an enjoyable, interesting read. Even if you're a skeptic about reading meaning in fingerprints, but are interested in psychology & life purpose type stuff, you may find it interesting to give this book a go :)

NB 1: If you're wondering if it's worth reading Richard Unger's Lifeprints book (he's the founder of this hand analysis method) as well as this one, I would say yes. They cover the same basic topics but in very different ways. Coburn's is much more psychology-oriented and approachable to read, whereas Unger's (upon a cursory look) appears to be more textbookish and appears to go more into depth about analysing the hands.
NB 2: This book only interprets fingerprints and doesn't go into the "gift markers" that Ronelle talks about on her youtube videos. From a quick skim through Unger's book, I don't think the gift markers analysis appear in his book either. I'm not sure where you'd find info on those.
