Book Description

December 23, 2003

"She's dead."

I am jumpy.

Sweating.

Scrambling for thoughts.

My body is shaking.

I move closer to the TV to get a good look at her face."Yes. She is definitely dead."

What would you do if the person you loved most in the world kissed you good-bye one morning and then never came home?

When someone we love suddenly dies, none of that other "stuff" matters. It doesn't matter that our house is a mess or work is hectic or the deal fell through or "they" didn't call. Death awakens us. It sweeps us off our feet, knocks us to the ground, and reminds us of what's truly important.

But Psychic Diaries is not about death. It's about life -- about learning how to say good-bye to one form of life and hello to another, about connecting with the dead to bring inspiration and insight to the living, about moving forward when everything inside of us wants to stop, about pushing past self-imposed limits and finding out what we're made of when life tests us to the core.

When we're kids, we listen to our inner voice without hesitation. But as we get older, that voice gets quieter and quieter until it seemingly disappears. Our journey is about reclaiming that voice, about listening to what it has to say and allowing it to be heard.

We all want to live a life that matters, one at which we can look back and say, "I'm really proud of myself. I lived, I loved, and I left something of value behind."Psychic Diaries takes you on an amazing journey to answer questions you never thought could be answered, revealing astonishing insights and important life lessons from the spirits, the people for whom they came, and the extraordinary medium in the middle.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did I Read the Same Book?!?, January 30, 2004
By 
This review is from: Psychic Diaries: Connecting with Who You Are, Why You're Here, and What Lies Beyond (Hardcover)
Hey...can I get paid to write a rave review like everyone else here? Seriously, how does this work?

It's an okay book. It's more human than Conversations with the Spirit World and Poison Pen, but this is not groundbreaking literature, people. It's actually quite disjointed and self-serving.

I hope that everyone else reviewing here really did have the life-altering experiences they're describing, otherwise I feel like I've stumbled upon a message board for Hyperbolizers Anonymous.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings At Best, December 29, 2003
This review is from: Psychic Diaries: Connecting with Who You Are, Why You're Here, and What Lies Beyond (Hardcover)
I have to admit to having mixed feelings about this book even though I am a big fan of Lysa Mateu. If you have been watching Lysa and reading her on-line diary then you will not need this book. This book is virtually only entries from her on-line diary, which I read long ago, combined with some stories from her first book tour. The stories about her psychic talents are great but there are few stories about that in the book. The book really is a self help book where Lysa constantly tries to convince the reader that everyone is great, wonderful, has a good soul, can do whatever they want... I've read this stuff in so many books and when you compare it to real life you know it's not true. There is good and evil in the world and not everyone is beautiful and wonderful. Unfortunately, I got bored halfway through the book but forced myself to finish so I can only give the book three stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sadly, a letdown., January 26, 2004
This review is from: Psychic Diaries: Connecting with Who You Are, Why You're Here, and What Lies Beyond (Hardcover)
"Psychic Diaries" provides a great narritive into the life and work of a psychic. It delves into personal details of what makes Lysa, which is interesting in itself. Sadly, this seems to be the bulk of the book.

As an avid reader of "Conversations with the Spirit World," I was expecting something along those lines. I was disapointed not to hear more of the spirits' voice in this work. It seemed that she pulled many of the same ideas from "Conversations..." and put them into this book -- failing to provide any new and exciting insights.

The personal narritive is a good idea, drawing her readers into her own life -- but it also makes it for difficult reading after 19 chapters. It makes it difficult to connect with the author. Her constant citations of her work in the Levy, along with the others cases, seemed on the edge of self-promotion, to me. Talking about her new TV show is the same. "Money and Spirituality" seemed out of place and an obscure topic. The personal stories at the end seemed tacked on.

It hurts me to write this, because I thought "Conversations..." was a stupendous book -- full of insight and new, bright ideas. I wish this book would've been more on those lines instead of her life story.

Maybe "Conversations..." was a hard act to follow.
