5.0 out of 5 stars An enlightening and interesting read for anyone!, October 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Other Side and Back: A Psychic's Guide to Our World and Beyond (Hardcover)

Sylvia Browne takes a different approach in "The Other Side and Back" by making it a guide to achieving and understanding the lessons she's become famous for teaching the world. It has a few repeated items items from "Adventures of a Psychic", only because those facts are important to know for the in-depth study of the lessons in the new book. I thought I had found out all Sylvia had to teach(from watching her lectures on TV, reading her biography, and attending a live lecture), but I learned SO MANY new things, I was astonished and somewhat embarrassed that I had assumed I knew it all already. "The Other Side and Back" tells us all about the dark side,where the bad people go since there is no flame-ridden hell like we had assumed, how to astral travel in our dreams, interesting (and humorous) ideas and stories about the mind and its potential.I loved this book because it gave an all around revitalizing look at how we can control our mindset and vocabulary to lead more positive, learned lives and finally reach our home with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars believe it or not..., February 21, 2000

By

This review is from: The Other Side and Back: A Psychic's Guide to Our World and Beyond (Hardcover)

this book actually did "change my life". I am a recent college graduate who is very scientific minded, but I grew up in a very religious household, so I am at a point in my life where I am quite skeptical of anything pertaining to "God" or "angels" or "spirits", etc. But I have seen Sylvia on Montel Williams, and I was curious enough to buy this book. I am so glad that I did, because whether or not any of it is true, I came away with such a feeling of peace, self-worth, and control over my life, that it was more than worth the price of the book. I have more insight into things I always felt may be true, and I also understand and accept with much more peace things that happen around me and to me. I try now, more than ever, to learn from every experience. The guidance, humor, and warmth make this book a wonderful read. Highly recommended. Thank you, Sylvia!

1.0 out of 5 stars Audio Cassette version not the same as Book . . ., November 19, 1999

By 

Joanne ([e-mail]) (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Other Side and Back (Audio Cassette)

I highly recommend the book, "The Other Side and Back" by Sylvia Browne, but can't say the same for the audio cassette edition. A LOT is missing in the audio version; I found one section where 10 complete pages were omitted. Also, there is not a single one of the 'exercises' in the audio version. A severe omission in my opinion.

After reading the book, I purchased the audio version for a friend who is blind. I was surprised when in a conversation a few weeks after giving my friend the audio 'book', he did not share my enthusiasm for it. One of his biggest critiques was the lack of continuity of the 'book'. I did not understand that at all, and asked if I could borrow the cassettes to listen to. After listening for about a half hour, I too felt a lack of continuity in the book. I then tried to follow the book as the cassette played, but it was next to impossible. The changes and omissions are that great; such a shame. (By the way, I have since read the entire book to my friend. He now appreciates and shares my enthusiasm for the book - the hardcover that is!)

BUYER BEWARE - The audio version is NOT the same.
