Summary: Fabulous look into Psychic Phenomena from a Psychiatrist
Review: Judith started off as many psychically intuititive people do, with a checkered pathway until she accepted her second sight for the gift it was. Most psychic books go into the fluff bunny territory of the hows and wherefores, where this book is a window into the soul and development of a professional who learned to incorporate her intuition into her practice as an MD and Psychiatrist to boot. A must read for those who have often wondered if they are psychic only to have the natural world around them collapse and expand as it does for those with a gift ... A gifted reader will find that they are not crazy for some of the things they have gone thru in their lives to get to where they are now, this lady did and became a medical professional to boot.

Summary: One of THE most important books I've read in a long time.
Review: During my own NDE some 20+ years ago I learned first hand that we are ALL born with an inner voice, a connection to Spirit that goes beyond religion, race, or culture. How we define, use or ignore this voice depends on how, when and where we are raised. If we are repeatedly told 'it was only a dream', 'our imagination', 'a strange coincidence' etc we learn at a very young age to ignore a vital part of who we are.
Thankfully for some, like Dr. Orloff, this inner voice will not be ignored. She and others like her help to remind the rest of us that we are much more than this physical world around us. Second Sight is just such a reminder. By opening her life to us she takes us along on her journey to come to terms with, and finally embrace her psychic/intuitive abilities. Beyond that, she teaches us how to recognize and strenthen our own inner voice and incorporate it into our lives on a daily basis.

Summary: For the Highly Sensitive, Intuitive Empath or Psychic
Review: Whether you have been defined as highly sensitive, psychic or highly intuitive,you are gifted, according to psychiatrist Judith Orloff. Orloff reveals how she struggled with her psychic gifts and how she realized they can be used to guide her and others into leading a life meant exclusively for them. Orloff made me realize that if we are all allowed to stay in tune with our deeper selves from childhood on, we can be self-guided and less dependent on the advice of others. Orloff gives many examples of how she has led others to get in touch with their deeper selves and how to create a sacred space to do so.
Friends and family always said I was highly sensitive in an accusatory manner. Through this book I am coming to acknowledge and celebrate that my sensitivity to others perhaps has kept me away from dangers, and that in fact they can be put to good use, such as a healing profession.
Following Orloff's advice, I will continue to meditate, follow my deeper intuitions and dreams as well as continue to encourage my children to do the same. By revealing how as a teenager she was led to deny her abilities only made her feel lost and confused, Orloff made me realize that the biggest favor I could do for myself is know that I have all the tools within me to guide me, to love myself and others and follow my deepest intuitions.

Summary: Best book written
Review: I was happily surprised by Dr. Orloff's book. Reading the book gave me a sense that I am not alone and a completely positive way to look at my experiences. I would highly recommend to this to anyone who is not only interested in psychic experiences but who may have had experiences themselves. It certainly made a positive impact on my life!

Summary: Honest, Open and Personal Sharing Of Life's Lessons
Review: I just finished reading "Second Sigh", Dr. Judith Orloff's biographical account of her experiences as she grew to embrace her psychic abilities. I bought her latest book, "Positive Energy" first, then decided to purchase "Second Sight" so I could read both books at the same time and get to know more about Dr. Orloff's life leading up to where her work is now. I appreciate the openness and honesty that Judith shares with her readers as she opens up her life experiences for others to learn from. The book offers guidance as well as tools for developing one's own personal psychic gifts. I feel Judith's books read like a good friend talking with you; each point that is made is backed up with a personal example to solidify the meaning. By the time I was done reading "Second Sight", I had learned the value of tuning into MY own feelings, energies and intuitions rather than strictly living my life by logic and reasoning. I have now dipped into "Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing". I feel that my growth as a more intuitive person is on the upswing with Judith's help!

Summary: Thank you Judith
Review: Many thanks to this book! It teaches to see life in a new way and to recognize the big lighting power in everyone! Reading it I discovered a new amazing world all around and inside of me. Wonderful! It's difficult for me to explain what I feel, because I'm Italian and I don't speak English very well... but I'd like to say that reading this book, when I found the pages in which mother and daughter talks together and discover to be both sensitive.. I sow my mother and me... it was great!

Summary: Rachel, Executive Assistant, Los Angeles, CA
Review: I came upon Judith Orloff's book, "Second Sight", last summer when I had been laid-off from my job and was feeling down and out. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down!
She writes with such a nice style that you feel as if she has written the book especially for you! She talks a lot about how we all have intuition, if we can just stop, and listen.
As fate would have it, I went back east to visit my mother-in-law and even had a job interview while there. I took Judith's book with me and was reading all about intuition, while on the Long Island Railroad, on my way into the city for the job interview and then for a day of shopping. After my interview, I was walking down Park Avenue, when I got a funny feeling to get out of the city as soon as possible. Normally, I would brush-off such a thought and carry on with my plans but this time, I chose not to -- for I had just been reading "Second Sight", about following our gut and listening to that little voice inside. I immediately hailed a taxi and got on the first train out of the city. Once I safely back on Long Island, the HUGE blackout hit the entire eastern seaboard! If I had stayed in the city, as planned, I would have been stuck in Manhattan overnight, alone, with no cash and 3,000 miles away from my home. Cell service was off for millions and the majority of the people in Manhattan had to sleep on the sidewalks that night, without food, water or shelter.
If I hadn't have read her book, I doubt I would have paid any attention to my own intuition and I have Judith Orloff to thank.
