The book has a wonderful cover by Paul Heussenstamnn, which attracted me to the book immediately. Most of the information falls under the paradigm of self-growth and motivation, more than on the psychic development one. Everything in the book is good advice, and it is certainly well-intended. The book reads well, it reads fast, and I love the fact that the author doesn't fill pages with clients' cases. Unfortunately, the book suffers from too many sins to be ignored:- The book gets lost soon after starting. One starts to read and the book is about developing your psychic abilities but then it is about making readings for other people and clients. Developing your intuition and becoming a psychic reader for other people do not equal.- The author repeatedly avoids digging into some matters and explicitly tells you to go and visit her website and take one of her courses or programs. Self-promotion!- There are too many motivational quotes, which add little to the subject of the book. If this wasn't enough, the author quotes herself repeatedly, ad nauseam. How narcissistic and unnecessary is that?- The book, despite its shortness, is quite repetitive.- The reference to quantum and string theory is the usual babble you see repeated everywhere.Physicists themselves say openly that they don't understand or can explain the mechanics of quantum...- I was looking forward to making the exercises in the playbook, ready to forget the narcissistic and simplistic introduction, but, although they are OK, there is nothing that will develop your intuition and psychic ability that much: The exercises are: = Meditation; = writing a gratitude list; = making a list of your fears, worries and doubts to build your confidence; = do some sensorial experiments to notice your five sense via your mind eye, using visualization and imagination; = visit different spaces to experience the energy of the place in your body, and record it. You already know the answer without doing the "experiment". If you visit a hospital or your visit your favourite cafe the energy you feel is different. Experiment over. = "List some elements of laying the proper foundation and setting the stage for effective intuitive information to flow in, through and to you". = Practice with another person who is not you in a quiet place so you get more experience. Genius! = Write your intentions. = Chart your progress with a given question and the intuition clues you receive. = Journal about your psychic development.The book ends with plenty of more self-promotion about Spagna's other books and his many web sites. A self-promotion pamphlet should be free, and Amazon should raise the standards of self-publishing books on offer.If you are seriously interested in your psychic development buy another book. I like anything by Laura Day and Sherry Dillar, and in a lesser degree Sonia Choquette's books.
