Practical Intuition

Summary: Paid for itself a thousand times over
Review: This book is my foundation work on intuition. It has rewarded my investment more than a thousand times over in money alone, and the insight and practical advice I have received through these intuitive exercises in other areas of my life have been worth as much again. This book differs markedly from many other books about intuition by simplifying and demystifying the whole subject. While so many other books will have you carrying out lengthy efforts of "tuning in" and receiving impressions to no particular purpose, this book gets you started right away dealing with issues of practical importance in your own life. After a couple of short introductory chapters, explaining how it works and what you will need, the exercises begin almost immediately. As the book progresses, you will formulate three burning questions of your own and carry out a series of exercises to refine and provide insight into them. The book contains 26 such exercises in all, every one different, and all carried out "blind", that is to say without knowing which question you are answering. Some of the author's own questions are thrown in, so you really never can guess the question you are dealing with. This is not the kind of book you can simply dip into or read for interest alone. You are forced to carry out the exercises as you reach each one before moving on in the text. This may be off-putting to some, but following the rules will reward you with much practical experience by the end of the book, and most likely some genuinely useful answers to a few of your own questions. Added to this, the book is full of examples from the author's students, so you get plenty of insight and encouragement from the efforts of other novices. If you are serious about putting intuition to practical use in your life, then this is the book to get. In fact, it may be the only book you will ever need on the subject.

Summary: Meaningful Difference
Review: This book made a big difference in my life. I am a man whose mind was trained in logic but recently I found it harder and harder to make decisions, big or small. The exercises in Practical Intuition helped me access information in a creative, imaginative way -- they unblocked me and decision-making became easier and faster. I still use logic. I still analyze data. But now I trust my instincts much more and find that my hunches are usually right on the money. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for new ways of thinking and seeing the world.

Summary: Unlocks the present and maybe even the future.
Review: This is the first book I have read of this type. Sure I was sceptical at first, but this book is for real. In reading the book many memories were brought back from my teenage years that even scared me a little but now they make sense. The book states that nothing is a coincidence and every person we come in contact with is important. I do not want to write the personal growth I have receive from the book, but not to sound trite, it has changed my life!

Summary: No Intuition
Review: Though I believe many people have intuition, I believe I have virtually none. I was hoping to develop my intution with this book and worked with it on a daily basis. I can honestly say I have seen no change. The book was an interesting read, but not helpful to me.

Summary: Amazed. Apprehensive. Wanting more.
Review: To be honest this is the first book of this kind I have picked up. I find this book easy to follow, I actually find it hard to put down. I'm eager to study, to learn, to use this ability that we are all born with. I want to be a more concious creator of my life rather then just a live-er. I belive this book is a catalyst for this new adventure. It was suggested to me that I work to improve my abilities, so here I am. I'm not quite fininshed with it and already want more, how does one find out more about the authors seminars?
