It helped understand why there are still ghosts in this realm, and what happens to those who leave this planet.

I have no time that’s why it took me two months to read this

Of the books of this kind that I've read, this was my least favorite. I don't doubt that Browne has some psychic abilities, but I think she assumes and imagines too much. The many details of the afterlife--down to what people wear and what buildings there look like, raise my suspicions. Although she says that comparing near-death experiences from all over the world confirm her details, other books by NDE experiencers show much more variation, although they mostly agree on the broad strokes of what dying and passing into the other side are like--but only the broad strokes. I think maybe Browne is either influenced by her religious upbringing to perceive or imagine things a certain way or else she is trying too hard to meet the expectations of traditional religious tropes that won't offend too many traditional religious practitioners.

I read this book during the last few months of my father's life (he died of cancer). I have to say that although I don't agree with ALL of her views, this book helped me TREMENDOUSLY during a time when I might have given up on faith completely. She helped me to not fear my father's impending death, but to embrace it as just another phase of life. I knew that his journey beyond this earth would be a pleasant one, but the imagery Sylvia presents helped me to really envision my father living happily on the other side. Ultimately, her books have totally changed my view of death and the afterlife by presenting some unique ideas to ponder. I will definitely keep reading her books.

Side note: I know there are people who think Sylvia is a quack, but as with anything, you have to decide what YOU believe and Sylvia does a great job in all of her books reminding you to make up your own mind about the ideas she presents.

Started reading this book with much enthusiasm to know about the "life on the other side", just to feel disappointed with the content and the presentation of it. The "facts" given in the book is a very mediocre and any one with extensive reading on the subject would know it.One doesnt need a psychic to tell u these simple facts.. It is more like an autobiography of how she sees the spirits and ghosts, rather than an effort to share some information with the world.For example,even a simple phenomenon of Silver chord is written with half a page of personal experience and no real light on what is silver chord and what is the function of it.
Personally, I have read thousands book which are far accurate and better then this one, try life after death by Deepak Chopra or The Conversation with a spirit by Dolores Cannon if one really want some genuine information and has a lot of curiosity.It is indeed very easy to mislead the audiences just to promote oneself,you can avoid these kind of books altogether.
Sure, this author may be a clairvoyant but with power should come a lot of responsibility and humbleness.Sadly I found none.

Antroji mano perskaityta šios autorės knga. Kai kas kartojosi, daug buvo naujo, į pabaigą kažkiek pabodo, bet vienas bruožas, kuris asmeniškai man jungia šios autorės knygas-galima tikėti tuo kas parašyta, galima ne, bet skaitant apima ramybė, fainas jausmas

Interesting.

I like to think I’m a nice mix of skepticism and open mindedness… I’m rather psychic myself; I’ve had many mystical experiences that I cannot deny but that would sound crazy to most people. I just don’t know about what Sylvia had to say in this book. Some things rang true but I’m not sold on her detailed vision—which is okay as I don’t need concrete answers to live a wholehearted life on earth.

It's what is says

I give this fairy tale 2 stars.

One thing that I have always been fascinated in is the concept of life after death, which I suppose attracted me to this book in the first place.

This book provides a comprehensive explanation of how the afterlife works, told through an apparent psychic. I don't really believe in the book - for instance, I know she explains why people's loved ones don't show up all the time, but it didn't feel comprehensive to me - but it is at least something to think about.
