5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Guide to Intuition, January 4, 2000

By	Mano Kanthanathan "mkanthanathan" (Foster City, California) - See all my reviews

Having read several books on intuition, I believe that Frances Vaughan's book is the all encompassing guide on intuition. The author describes intuition at all levels of human experience and is the only text that I have come across that is able to truly describe a complex subject in a manner that is relatively easy to understand. I have owned this book for several years and everytime I read it, I gain some additional insight into this important faculty of the mind. I encourage the reader to read the book several times since every additional attempt will enhance their intuitive capability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Push Yourself Transrational!, August 22, 2004

By	M. Manson (Boston, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderfully readable book on intuition, and everything about it. Vaughan describes intuition in contexts of everyday life, dreams, creativity, and human interaction. She also touches upon meditation and the paranormal occurences. She is never overbearing in her information or evidence, as she states immediately that intuition--by its very nature--cannot be quantified or studied rationally, because it is the occurence of knowledge without reason.

She goes into some simple exercises to "develop" intuition, but most are simply creative exercises, or variations of simple meditation. Nonetheless, for someone with casual interest in these subjects, this is a great read. But, if you're very studious in topics such as: intuition, meditation, transpersonal experience, spirituality, philosophy, you may be better off getting a more thorough and definitive book.
