How We Master Our Fate

James Allen (author of As a Man Thinketh) reviewed this book, saying:
Mrs. Gestefeld is one of the most intellectual and refined of American Metaphysical writers. In this book there is much close consecutiveness of thought, and the ideas are worked out clearly and logically. She constantly introduces some simple simile, and applies it patiently in all its parts, in order to aid the reader in his reasoning. Every one of the twenty-five chapters is a book in itself, and is full of food for thought; and all the chapters combined circle round the one grand, central idea that man is, as soon as he realizes it, a creative Master, and the governor of Fate. The book is studded with beautiful thoughts, and is rich in helpful suggestions. The shortest chapter in the book and the best is "The Way To Happiness," the following short sentence from which will convey some idea of the quality and purpose of the book:--"How is dominion shown? By getting for yourself what someone else has? Or by proving yourself able to do without it?"
