Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Dr. Judith Orloff tells her remarkable life story and teaches you how to recognize and trust your own intuitive gifts to improve your life - and the lives of those around you.

In this updated edition, Dr. Orloff reflects on her career and the sea change that modern medicine and psychiatry have experienced since Second Sight was first published. She expands her earlier ideas and further explores intuition's role in maintaining physical health and emotional well-being, using examples from her own and her patients' lives. This is both a remarkable self-portrait of one woman's journey toward the acceptance of intuition as a therapeutic tool, and a comprehensive look at how you, too, can develop your intuition, transform your health, and revolutionize your everyday life.

Critic reviews

"Orloff tried to stave her intuitions off during medical school until she found herself 'trapped' in a profession that was itself dependent on dispensing drugs to silence the spirit.... To listen only to the mind and not the soul is, Orloff believes, a form of insanity." (San Francisco Chronicle)

"An exemplary and eloquently written story that makes it easy for nonbelievers in intuition to believe. You must read this book." (Psychology Today)

"Judith Orloff is a talented writer, and her book moves like a thriller.... Orloff's real goal is to awaken your sense that you too are an intuitive - indeed, that we all are - and that you can sharpen your gifts. If you've ever had an experience that gives you chills to remember, if you ever find that you 'know' facts about people they would never have told you, this book will be a great relief and a door to more.... Forgive me my moment of intuition, but this book feels right." (Jesse Kornbluth, Huffington Post)

Surprisingly wonderful read!

My therapist suggested to me that there was nothing at all wrong with me but that I’m an empath. I only need to know the tools needed to protect myself, understand how to manage it, etc. and she suggested I read Judith Orloff book (pulled it right off her shelf). She said she’s an empath too. So I read the book and qualified in at least all those categories. For whatever reason, I didn’t plan to read anything else by the same author. Came across Second Sight...interesting title, and just began. It’s been great (for me) as I felt the similarities, taken with her spirit, her incredible journey...and her indisputable conclusions. All of her resonates with me. Grateful this precious soul put pen to paper and wrote this. Now I’ll probably binge read the rest of her books. This is the story of her evolution in this area. It’s a great autobiography of that. She had good teachers, guides and education...you’ll probably long for that too. I do. Enjoy!

So much better when the author does it

Thanks Judith for a great book and for narrating it yourself. A fascinating story that seemed to end too soon which is always a good sign.

great story, eerie tone

I enjoyed the story. I did, however, found the tone used a bit eerie. The story was great though and I did enjoy her references.

Loved hearing how she discored her talent

I have seen Judith Orloffs name in lots of suggested reading, but I tend to read more spiritual self help vs psychological. This book has connected to 2. I look forward to listening to more of her books!
