About the author
Sylvia Browne
214Ìýbooks582ÌýfollowersSylvia Browne was an American author and self-proclaimed psychic who built a lucrative career through books, television appearances, and psychic readings. Known for her frequent guest spots on The Montel Williams Show and Larry King Live, she claimed to communicate with angels, spirit guides, and the deceased, and said she had psychic visions from the age of three. In 1986, she founded the Society of Novus Spiritus, a Gnostic Christian church, and ran a variety of businesses, reportedly earning millions annually.
Browne wrote over 40 books, many of which were bestsellers, and maintained a dedicated fanbase throughout her life. However, her career was marked by controversy. She made numerous high-profile predictions about missing persons and criminal cases that were later proven false—errors that drew widespread criticism and scrutiny from skeptics and media outlets. A 2010 study by the Skeptical Inquirer concluded she had not been accurate in any verifiable case. Her reputation suffered further after her 1992 conviction for securities fraud.
Despite criticism from figures like James Randi and John Oliver, Browne retained a devoted following. Her vague prediction about a “pneumonia-like illness� spreading around 2020 drew renewed attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. She remained a polarizing figure—revered by some, discredited by others—until her death in 2013 at the age of 77.

Sylvia talks about the purpose of are lives and what it will lead to. What are greater purpose is. with her having special abilities she is able to explain from her knowledge the purpose of our being. I love reading her books and expanding my understanding of my life. The factual information is comforting to me as a believer in the authors work. To a reader who is open I would suggest this but its not for just any person.

i took into consideration that this book was published 9 years ago, so it might seem like "much of the same", but for me, it was far too simple. I have read a lot of "self-help" books and relaying stories and then using them to illustrate a point; well, there was a huge disconnect between me and Ms. Browne. It did little for me.

I really enjoyed the beginning of the book. The first few lessons were useful for me but as it goes on I think I have already passed those steps.
