Critic Reviews

"It would be hard to imagine a more thorough, cleanly structured, and encouraging book on the subject." ( The Bodhi Tree Book Review)

Fantastic book that I would recommend A+

a a great reminder of how we should all live our lives everyday and encourage others to also

Good tips ruined by psychobabble.

I tried but I just couldn't finish this one. Every time I started listening I had high hopes but kept getting mad and shutting it off.

Don't get me wrong, there's some good stuff in there. I practice spirituality and psychic development. I'm a believer, no doubt about it. But I also study psychology, and that's where this book just makes me mad.

The author attempts to blend what I assume is Freudian psychoanalysis with concepts from Eastern mysticism but ends up butchering both.

Here's one example, where I finally gave up. She talks about the three levels of mind -- conscious, super-conscious, and subconscious. The super-conscious is basically like your spirit or higher self, all good and all-knowing. The conscious mind is pure awareness and will (neutral). But the subconscious is obsessed with survival, physicality, and reacts to situations from a basis of fear or anger. She even describes the different parts of the brain associated with these different levels.

Okay, if you're going to get into science, give me the science. Back up these claims with data and citations or just walk away. She does this kind of thing over and over. It not only detracts from the author's credibility, it just offends me.

Not all psychic authors are like this. Sonia Choquette is a good example. She stays in her realm of expertise and thus maintains her credibility. This book, on the other hand, just gives the field a bad name. Move on.

Sorry I wasted an Audible credit on this

I was expecting a book a little more grounded in psychology. This was all fluffy new age babbling.

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS IVE EVER READ.

I was born intuitive and some of us recognize and learn to understand it early in life. This book was absolutely amazing. The author Penney Pierce, did not guess or strive for attention or perfection, the author knew how to reach the audience with wisdom and maturity. I haven’t read a book on this subject that can compare to this one. When you are ready for a teacher they will come is my answer for this book. People tend to doubt that someone knows and actually understands this gift. The exercises in this book made it absolutely clear that the author had wisdom and revelation which gave the reader insight not fluffy inspiration. I do notknow the author at all but what I do know is this person is gifted. Thanks for the wisdom I’ve gained from reading this book. I am inspired to share wisdom with others while on a path of harmony and peace. 🙏🏽

Must read

Didn't agree with everything in the book. But I guess it's a hard subject with conflicting biases we may already have. There is a lot that I learnt so I consider this book as a must read.

A waste of time

It was a waste of time. Quite silly ideas indeed. I barely got past the introduction.

Penney Pierce Is A Great Teacher

Everything I have ever read or listened to by Penney has been excellent! I had a reading from her that was incredibly insightful and significant. She is a very gifted intuitive, and a very kind person.

Soul Evolution

Taking steps toward understanding your own intuition and letting it work for you, Feel Good book.

Long Story

A little long. I prefer the author’s other book Frequency over this one. This book has a lot of exercises.

One of the few noteworthy works on the topic

I started with the audiobook then purchased the actual book because sadly I found the narration somewhat irritating. Not particularly enjoyable to listen to. The actual book is great, more savory, and you can pick up on the author's careful craft - she has some lovely phrasings and nuances to her style that this rather odd choice of narrator seems to miss or steamroll through.

Nonetheless, this is one of the few noteworthy texts on intuition development. Frances Vaughan's 1979 book on the topic set the bar quite high, followed by Shakti Gawain's subtle yet vital little book on intuition. Both are hard to match in their quality of writing and content and yet Penney Pierce adds something new. Something substantial. Her exercises, many more of which one will find in the actual book, are truly a gift to the student of intuition. I am grateful for Penney's energy and dedication.

Even if one is unconvinced by the controversial or questionable treatment of "the subconscious" in this book, it wasn't enough to deter me or to discount the otherwise insightful content. It was, however, not especially helpful or pleasant to have the subconscious-conscious-superconscious aspects discussed in the manner they were in this book. It felt insulting and sort of unnecessarily dark. Some people consider the unconscious mind a storehouse of endless resources and wisdom, some view the subconscious as synonymous with the unconscious (not in the darker Freudian sense). Unfortunately, this book conflicts with those positive beliefs about the unconscious mind. Again, one can work around this but it is worth mentioning since it is at odds with much of the wisdom passed down through the ages and felt more like a domineering kind of hinderance to learning and less like a supportive guide.
