The Truth About Psychics

What's Real, What's Not, and How to Tell the Difference

By Browne, Sylvia & Harrison, Lindsay

Publishers Summary:
How do psychic abilities work...and how can you tell if they're real?In this fascinating look into the history of spiritualism, celebrity psychic Sylvia Browne tells all: what's real, what's not, and how to tell the difference! Starting with her own personal odyssey, Sylvia covers the history of psychics dating from biblical times and reveals the truth about everything from witches and talking boards to angels and astral projection. Did you know...• If someone tells you that an object is "haunted"...they are probably fooling you. Objects can retain impressions of prior owners, like a photograph, but they don't contain the spirits of those on the Other Side.• If you get rid of one item in your house...it should be the talking board. Using one is like leaving your front door unlocked, inviting anyone (good or evil) to waltz right in.• Why Sylvia didn't believe in "living ghosts"...until she had a terrifying experience that changed her mind. The phenomenon called a doppelgänger happened to her more than forty years ago.• How to tell if a psychic is giving you a good reading...or just followiwing a script. There are a few key phrases that can give away a fake.Through a wealth of personal stories and research into the lives of great psychics, Sylvia offers solid advice on how to put valid procedures to use and ignore the rest. The Truth About Psychics explains how you can spot a fraud and shows you how to tap into your own spiritualism and develop legitimate psychic skills!

With more than 50 titles in the areas of paranormal, mediumship, spirituality, and psychic phenomenon, psychic Browne (Temples on the Other Side) is bound to repeat herself every now and again. This covers a lot of the same ground as her Phenomenon: Everything You Need To Know About the Paranormal (2006), with brief descriptions and definitions of various religions, divination techniques, the afterlife, and astral beings of all sorts. The main differentiator and final few chapters explain what makes for a good psychic and how to spot a fraud, including fairly detailed and humorous description of cheesy tricks used by charlatans. Browne even gives out her office phone number so readers can report fakes. Included are a few exercises and meditations to expand one's own psychic potential. Verdict Browne continues here with her cheery and inclusive yet authoritative tone that accounts for her popularity. This is a bit of a rehash, but her many fans will not be disappointed.-Janet Tapper, Western States Chiropractic Coll. Lib., Portland Copyright 2009 Media Source Inc.
