Summary: Sylvia Has Done It Again
Review: As is her style, Sylvia has, once again, given us an easy to read, easy to understand witty, simplistic look at life presented in her typical matter-of-fact/take-it-or-leave-it approach. This read pertains to life, our families, getting through the holidays and, particularly, getting through life with our families during the holidays!If you are in need of inspiration and encouragement for the holidays, whether you have suffered the loss of a loved one or simply suffer due to family relationships that perpetually give you heartburn, this book is a 'must read.' However, if you have the time and have not read them, I would highly recommend first winding your way through two of Sylvia's prior books -- specifically, "Adventures of a Psychic, The Other Side and Back," as well as "Life on The Other Side." There are numerous references in this current book to topics addressed in these two prior publications. To avoid replication, she does not go into great detail, but merely refers the reader to these books with the assumption that they have been read. I found this a little frustrating because I needed to refresh my memory, but I also appreciated that she presented fresh material in the new book and did not bog it down with topics she had already covered. The book is 190 pages long. It addresses subjects, such as grief, life's purpose, forgiveness, guilt, relationships, and joy. As is the case with all of Sylvia's books, I could not put it down once I had started and finished reading it in a little over 24 hours from the time it arrived on my doorstep. It also gave me the desire to go back and re-read the two books I referenced. If you already have the books, keep them close by to refresh your memory. If you don't have the other two books, I would highly recommend you place an order for all three. You won't regret it, and you will have them all read in under a week. You cannot put them down once you get started.

Summary: Hope for the Holidays
Review: For those who have lost a loved one recently and who need some hope and inspiration from a psychic, this is the book for you. Sylvia gives you the answers to everything - guilt, joy, life death, and surviving the holidays with loved ones, among others. The book is short and simple - an easy read. The only shortcoming might be her frequent references to other books of hers, but this avoids repetition in case you'e already read them. Once you get hooked on this books message, you won't be able to put it down.

Summary: HUH? I'm confused....
Review: Having read Sylvia's "The Other Side and Back" this is in short, a minature version of that book, which highlights the main points and brings it to the reader in shorten form, which I think works very well. Sylvia shows the blessings and comfort for the reader in many areas of life: Finding comfort in grief, discovering life's purpose, building relationships, listening to children, finding joy, the meaning of guilt, the importence of family and friends and getting throught the holidays( which I found extremely helpful this year since I am currently unemployed). This book is more than just Sylvia reiterating her knowledge, it also mediation exercises and affirmations that can help in a variety of situations. Whether you are a new or old Browne scholar this book will help you discover (and fine tune) your spritual self.

Summary: A lot of "hocus pocus"
Review: I bought this book for a friend and read part of it. I've seen Sylvia Browne on the "talk shows" and find her repulsive and totally obnoxious. Her so-called "visions" and "predictions" are nothing but a "magic lantern show". What I find appalling is that so many gullable people fall for this rubbish.And her "predictions" are often wrong. Thankfully she was wrong about Gore being elected president. But that is a different matter. She hides behind god and spouts a lot of "christian like" rhetoric, but sounds like a hypocrite to me. If you want to believe Browne's nonsence, it's a free country.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: I currently own all of Sylvia's books, and I must say this is one of the best! It clearly deals with all the common areas in life that we all face. Its very simple and easy to read and understand. I recommend this book to everyone who respects and likes Sylvia Browne.

Summary: From a skeptic, there is hope
Review: I recently lost my mom, and for some reason, this book came to me. I am glad it did. I am not a religious person, and I have gone through years of schooling, so I have never been very spiritual. Sylvia Browne has this down-to-earth, direct style of telling about her experiences that really builds her credibility. The book really comforted me in this time of grief and got me interested in researching more the afterlife. I thank Sylvia for putting this out there. If you are really religious, in particular, Catholic, please, don't read this book. It challenges the foundation of most religions regarding the afterlife, but it makes so much sense to me.

Summary: We CAN give messages to those that are gone!
Review: Short and sweet! This book of Sylvia's has been VERY useful for myself and some friends who have lost those very close to them and are looking for an explanation. These questions that we have can not be answered by the 'average' person since it really does not make any sense to us on this earth plane. Sylvia is anything but 'average'! She has the UNDERSTANDING of what is like to be the 'average' person but is able to explain to us in such a compassionate way about the afterlife, she helps us deal with the grief WE are LEFT WITH in this life. I would also HIGHLY recommend "The One Minute Guide To Prosperity and Enlightenment" by Sri Siva (ISBN # 0-9724254-0-3). He also provides us with simple explainations of the secrets of why we are here and how we can deal practically with our afterlife so that we may attain lasting HAPPINESS no matter what happens in THIS life right now!
Thank you Sylvia for your compassion and helping us through these MOST difficult times.

Summary: Interesting
Review: Sylvia Browne offers advice on the many emotions and feelings that we experience in our lifetime. Joy, sorrow, grief, anger, revenge, you get the idea. But she offers such advice in a different way, by explaining what we are here for, what we supposedly did before we came here. What our loved ones who have passed on are doing now. For instance, should we really grieve for one who is better off? Of course not. But will we grieve, of course we will. Offering advice on what we want to know along with telling us how normal it can be to feel what we feel. I have not read other Sylvia Browne books but if this one is an example of her writing I will read more. She briefly discusses our life's chart, written before we came here, and it's option lines. This is a good introductory book to her writing I believe. Bottom line, easy to read, interesting, at times thought provoking, worth the money even at the 190 pages.

Summary: We CAN give messages to those that are gone!
Review: Sylvia poured her heart and soul into this book, along with her down-to-earth sense of humor. As a professional intuitive and spiritual teacher, I'm no pushover. But I became a fan. This title gave me good confirmation of things I knew, some information I didn't have before, and the fellowship of a woman with great courage and integrity.
