The Secret History of Psychics: How to Separate Fact From Fiction - and Tap Into Your Own Psychic Abilities
People who think psychics are bogus won't touch this book, but the uncommitted, the curious and the convinced will find something they didn't know in the newest by prolific bestselling author and psychic Browne (Psychic Healing). The book's premise is a can't-lose proposition that bolsters Browne's trustworthiness: yep, says the psychic author, some psychics really are frauds, and I'll tell you how to spot them. One chapter debunks the notions of possession and curses and offers information on tricks mediums can play. Browne knows what she knows and offers a whirlwind tour of world religions as background for a more in-depth presentation of spiritualism and practices—and practitioners—of divination using various means. The author also tells the story of discovering her own psychic powers, writing about the paranormal in a disarming commonsense way. Browne's view of an afterlife as home makes death less fearsome for a death-averse culture. This book is particularly good for those who are curious about the psychic trade, because it covers so much ground.(Nov.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
