1.0 out of 5 stars Tedious New Age Dribble and Drabble, September 4, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Washington State) - See all my reviews

What a disappointment. After years of watching those god awful infomercials I thought I'd finally get an inside peek into this fascinating industry. Instead this book is filled with one cloying New Age cliche after the other (yawn). I can't imagine anyone staying on the phone (paying 4.00 a minute) to hear such dreck. A much better read (and a complete overview of the tele psych biz, including industry secrets and how to actually call a psychic) can be found in Frederick Woodruff's hilarious pop culture artifact: Secrets of A Telephone Psychic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating behind the scenes view of phone in readings., October 25, 1998

By A Customer

This is a fascinating and upbeat behind the scenes view of phone in readings, and how a psychic channel tunes in from the level of knowing that "we are One". There is much advice that can be used in your own life from love, work, and money to even greeting a soul before giving birth to nerds and gutsy replies. You will find an example of dealing with a con artist psychic(a la Whoopie Goldberg) to transformation of patterns and living a more meaningful and satisfying life. Underlying all this are beliefs that are written out for you to ponder like the idea that we are loved unconditionally and eternally. You even learn how to prepare for and get the most out of a reading, and how you too thru connecting with your higher self can be psychic too. Donna's book was so interesting that I had to finish it at one reading! Buy it and you will be glad you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Seek guidance from a psychic not a crutch, August 22, 1998

By A Customer

I just read this book - cover to cover in one reading. 1) because it was concise and I had the time. And 2) (and more importantly) because I could not put it down. The writer's beliefs and mine (stated near the beginning of the book) are basically running parallel. The incidents she chose to write about were beautifully chosen and developed and she gave a wonderful perspective to psychic readings. So many people expect an answer to their life's troubles rather than an objective perspective. The ending really puts the responsibility where it belongs, on the inner voice of each individual, our own in-tuition (teaching from within). One can only be guided to that - from there on it is a do-it-yourself life. Lawrence M. Steinhart, author Edgar Cayce's Secrets of Beauty Through Health
