The first edition of this book was 1990 (second in 1996) before the current wave of books on intuition/psi and mind/body science was on the horizon. At that time, Nadel had been "exploring intuition, both personally and professionally" for fifteen years. Nadel was therefore one of the pioneers in this subject. That her work is still relevant today says something of its timeless quality.

What is not shown in Amazon's "Search Inside" feature of the latest edition is the preface in which Laurie Nadel describes the pivotal experience that began all this: she had travelled to San Fransisco to look for work, in 1975: She had never been there before but there was no place to stop and ask for directions. "Something" told her which turnings to take - left or right - at each intersection. After about twenty minutes she slammed on the brakes, questioning her sanity - only to realise that the offices she was looking for were only several buildings away. There was no "logical" explanation for this.

Not only did this incident inspire me to experiment for myself, I also very much liked the balance of the "rational and intuitive" that Nadel encourages. It's therefore great to see an updated edition of this book.

Nadel gives practical exercises and suggestions for explorations that are both creative and down-to-earth. This is particularly useful; although there are books now that describe recent research into the power of "non-local" mind, readers will want to know how to apply these new discoveries in their personal lives - and nothing facy or time-consuming. No special techniques, either.

Authors published recently such as Lynne McTaggart (The Intention Experiment) Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief) and Dawson Church (The Genie in Your Genes) inspire us with reports of incredible discoveries, and suggest special ways of drawing on our new-found mind powers. However, Laurie Nadel brings an everyday, practical approach to the whole subject that is refreshing and helpful.

Certainly, authors like Dawson Church stun us with reports that a group of people could "unwind" (activate) a sample of DNA at a distance of a 1/2 mile. I will continue to refer to his book (and other authors) for inspiration, but I have returned to Laurie Nadel's "Sixth Sense" for a practical, everyday approach.

After the initial euphoria of "The Secret" we need something as pragmatic as "The Sixth Sense." Particularly helpful if you have, like many others, had your own intuitive experiences and didn't know what to do with them.

Dr. Nadel's style and content are excellent- I enjoyed this book thoroughly! The amount of relevant material that she has been able to marshall for it is amazing. Her approach to each aspect of the material is easy to understand, interestingly presented, and makes for fast and memorable reading. I found her manner of presentation to be respectful, apt, and very responsible. She opens up a huge number of avenues for further study by explicitely bringing into the picture the works of reputable and reliable experts who are experienced and very current in their perspectives. Additionally, there are plentiful suggestions from Dr. Nadel for those who wish to discover, explore, or enhance their intuitional and extrasensory abilities. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject!

After reading this book you will understand WHY you should trust your instincts. You will learn ways to listen more carefully to and heed your gut feelings.

If you already do these things, this book will reinforce and enhance everything you already know about having a sixth sense. If you wish to increase the ability to hear inside yourself, this book will guide you.

Laurie Nadel has put into words what most of us know is inside of us. She helps us recognize the gift each of us have if we will just listen.

This book uses the scientific method to make the case that we all have this extra unused sense. Well written by a lady who has a great sense of humor. I heard her on Art Bell's show and bought the book. ... BTW... I hope Art comes back on the air. He is a MASTER !

An insightful book for those of you who have always wondered about those "gut feelings" and if you were psychic. Sixth Sense is a fascinating read that helped me understand the dynamics of the sixth sense through spiritual AND scientific realms. Those who question their psychic ability will not question it anymore after reading this book. Even those of us who are in touch with their sixth sense will feel even more "validated" after reading this book. The intuitive exercises were fascinating to do..it appears that this powerful book was a multi-benefit read for me....Dr. Nadel's writing style makes the reader feel like your in a one-on-one-session with her while reading this book....I would highly recommend Dr. Laurie Nadel's Sixth Sense for the psychic-ly curious
and psychic-ly gifted alike!

There is something for everyone in the pages of Laurie Nadel's, "Sixth Sense". Whether you want to locate, define or defend your intuition, this book is the way. I loved learning the science behind my thoughts and feelings.

Demystify the intuitive capacity innate in human brains, understand psychic phenomenon, get command of it, discipline it, and choose what you want to focus on. The sixth sense is real but it isn't woo-woo or fantasy either. Understand the difference between sixth sense and your psyche shadow to stay clear and intuitively on. A great book on the phenomenon that isn't a phenomenon at all ... just every person's natural inheritance.

This is the must have ultimate guide to your sixth sense! I love this book!

For those of us who are curious about how intuition works, Dr. Nadel's Sixth Sense truly sheds light on those hunches that most of us feel but don't understand. With exercises and explanations that are clear and engaging I felt compelled to keep reading until I finished it completely.

This is one of those books that I like to keep in my home as a reference on this controversial subject.

I totally recommend it!

This book is great, really opened my eyes to the reality of how intuition works, and how I haven't recognized it before? Thanks to Dr. Nadel for helping me understand more about myself.
