Sylvia Browne

Sylvia Browne grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and revealed her psychic gift at the age of three, announcing that her grandfather was dead (he was) and predicting she would have a baby sister in three years (she did). Browne began her professional career in 1973 with a small meeting in her home. Within a year Browne’s practice had grown so much that she incorporated the business as the Nirvana Foundation for Psychic Research. Browne was a true professional: she maintained required business licenses, was a member of a national consumer protection agency, and donated a large portion of her time to charitable organizations and also worked with police to investigate missing persons and other criminal cases. She consulted with police and FBI on several high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Chandra Levy and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. She was the president of her business, now known as the Sylvia Browne Corporation, Browne also founded her own church, the Society of Novus Spirit. Her most recent business venture was The Sylvia Browne Hypnosis Training Center, where her unique, proven hypnosis methods for personal and professional use are taught. With twenty-two New York Times bestsellers, Browne was an accomplished author of more than 46 books. She appeared regularly on the Montel Williams Show for seventeen years, and was a frequent guest on Larry King Live, traveled the country at sold-out lectures, and regularly appeared in the print media. She lived and practiced in California, where she passed in 2013.

Reviews for Insight

[lucidbunnie · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Sylvia had some comforting things to say, but she is hardly objective. This stands out a bit too much. Her subjective views about belief in god and involuntary incarnation as if a punishment for lack of faith just makes it hard to take her seriously. Unfortunately, this audiobook is hardly more than a testimonial to her and about how amazing she is and whatnot. I wish it was actual retelling of various cases than testimonials and praises for her amazing accuracy. I wish I could give a more positive review for this book...

If you're in the mood for a feel good easy read, this is a great book. Sylvia talks about different modalities of communicating with spirits, guides and loved ones. She's also a big believer in God, which sometimes you don't really get with other books by psychics -- this book was like reading something by one of your favorite aunts.

This book claims to be "case histories" and testimonials from people that Sylvia has read for over the years. Interesting, but obviously one sided. She's not going to publish someone who said, "You couldn't be more wrong." As far as I'm concerned, the jury is still out on whether she's as good as she claims to be. Still, I enjoy reading her books.
