You need to have an open mind when reading Browne's books. Don't criticize it if you've never read it. While some notions seem a bit far-fetched, she does make a lot of sense about a lot of things we cannot answer.

I'm usually not one to read this type of book, but when audible had it on their sale list and I was desperate for something to listen to, I decided to give it a try. Full disclosure, I am very skeptical of psychics/mediums, etc, but I do find some of the stories of communicating with the dead to be fascinating, so I thought this book might be entertaining. The beginning of the book was rather interesting. The author begins by explaining how she has always been able to see spirits and that she has a relationship with a spirit guide, who helps her to understand the spirit world. Far fetched, but still interesting. However, when she moves away from this topic that is when she loses me...COMPLETELY. The main point of this book is to describe to the reader what the other side (heaven) looks like and what life is like there. She goes into great detail and all I can say is - she has a vivid imagination. She's either a charlatan or nut. Either way, she's made a fortune.

Read this book if you are interested in physical life and the afterlife. It is riveting, inspiring, enlightening, hopeful, and warm! If asked how to glean information besides from religions, that is easy: everywhere else! Spiritual experiences are my favourite sources. Prayers of mine have been answered recently. I knew a child who saw an angel, after her friend uttered a protection prayer. If you wonder if beliefs are too obscure to verify: read this book.

Sylvia Browne was a child who saw things many of us don’t. She was urged to respect religions, despite teachers being irate about questions she asked. She taught at a Catholic school, before marrying. Psychic readings and helping the police suddenly took off. As my young friend saw for herself: we all have spirit guides and guardian angels, two separate entities we learn in detail about. What paved the way for astounding information about our physical and spiritual journeys, is that Sylvia could hear her guide. It allowed a lifetime of questions and answers; shared in books like “Life On The Other Side”, 1999. Our hostess is humorously autobiographical.

I don’t share Sylvia’s disfavour of Earth. I love my life and savour all awareness I can achieve; learning what is around me, past what I see so far. Sylvia’s Granddaughter contributed jaw-dropping details, keenly remembering astral travels. Sylvia rising at night and beholding Angelica’s guardian angel is my favourite story: a Holy sight, indeed!

I read portions to Mom this June, who survived pneumonia in intensive-care. We were comforted by a chapter about how Heavenly loved-ones know we are surviving an ordeal, versus when to greet us. Clearly, Mom’s “pilot light did not blink”. I told her my open mind comes from her and how much I value having her, to share these conversations.

I found it a bit eerie especially because some of the places she has described I have dreamed about many, many times. I enjoyed it.

I believe much of what the author describes is based in reality, however I would have been more comfortable with her allowing others may see things a bit differently. As a long time trance medium I've seen and experienced many of the things she describes with spirit guides, etc, however, when she started in with the angels and the color of there wings, she lost me. She presented it as fact, rather than her interpretation of that realm. There is a difference.

She is positive and constructive in her information and the book is well-organized. But, read it with a grain of salt.

Sylvia Browne is a psychic who claims to know what is it like in the afterlife or on the Other Side. Heaven I suppose.

First of all she claims that we are the ones who chart our lives on Earth. Everything from who our family will be and everything that ever happens to us. We have been to Heaven and back to Earth in the form of reincarnation many times and when we go to Heaven we will remember every life we ever lived. And each life has a purpose. Most interesting to me is her vision of what Heaven is like. Everyone in Heaven is 30 years old no matter how old you are when you died. Also the temperature is an even 78 degrees and it is daytime always. We move around by simply thinking ourselves where we want to go. The Other Side is 3 feet off the ground of Earth.

Every person supposedly has a spirit guide here on Earth and in Heaven who helps us. Each person has an angel or angels with them. Also, she says that some of us have the ability to travel outside of our bodies astrally and can visit the other side from earth.

There is also a left door on the Other Side where dark entities go. Apparantly dark entities can change their ways and rejoin us in reincarnation. After living a successful life on Earth they can enter Heaven normally.

The Other Side is supposedly a mirror image of Earth and our physical appearance on Earth is a mirror image of us in Heaven. So that in Heaven our organs would be on the opposite side.

Sylvia also claims that there are beings in other galaxies and that they have their own Other Side but all are children of God. She describes a mother God named Azna who is a great healer and can answer specific prayers for help from us on Earth.

She describes in detail spirits, ghosts, angels, and psychics. I found this book very interesting. While I don't exactly believe everything, I did find that somehow it brought me closer to my spiritual self.

This book actually changed my life, and I've passed it on to two dozen people. If anyone has questions about the life after life, this book is a must-read. I have no fear of death (because it doesn't exist.)

I don't know if any of this is true. A lot of it resonated and some of it seemed hokey. But if Sylvia Browne is a fraud, she's an excellent world builder. My step mother asked me to read this book, and what matters most is that it has given us both great comfort in dealing with the loss of my father this past week. I'm not about to become a new age zealot, but this book has taught me to think twice about how I treat others who are still with us and how I think of those who have moved on.

Inspiring read

Makes you laugh and cry. Keeps you interested in each chapter, wondering what the next chapter will bring. Keep reading

Tried a little too hard to please the religious folk and spiritual folk alike - so while she may be seeing true things, it rings more like a 90’s telenovella about ghosts rather than a clear channeling. There are better books. Did not appreciate, for example, the oversimplification of good and evil or the lack of includsion of aliens. Was too religious and earth-egocentric for my tastes, as in coming from her religious upbringing more than a clear channel.

Ganska löjligt att rättfärdiga en skillsmässa för att en annan inte kan se det osynliga du själv ser.
+ En del inkonsekventheter.

Har ändringar från föregående boken Mellan två världar i sina påståenden.

Quite ridiculous to justify a divorce because another can not see the deet invisible you yourself see.
+ Some inconsistencies.

Have some changes from the previous book The Other Side and Back: A Psychic's Guide to Our World and Beyond

Let's just say she failed to convince me. The gates of heaven are in Northern California? She describes heaven as a continuous round of parties, dances & balls, lectures, concerts, exhibits - where you will never be alone and to be with someone just think yourself to where they are and voila your're there. Then she tries to tell us that her secondary basic personality theme is one of a loner?
