Author Nancy du Tertre, "the Skeptical Psychic™," takes you on a journey to find the answer to these questions and more in Psychic Intuition . She became psychic in mid-life after years of intensive study and training, and is now a believer that everyone has the potential to tap into their intuition and understand the world at a deeper level.
Psychic Intuition bridges the gap between skeptics who can analyze but don't experience psychic phenomena, and believers who have the experiences but lack the ability to analyze. This book explains, for the first time, how psychic ability works in the brain.
This is written by a past skeptic and she uses a lot of interesting scientific articles to back up her thoughts on psychic abilities. In the process, she explains what a psychic is. I found it informative if a bit repetitious. There are parts where I think she could have left quite a bit out and still gotten her point across. Her comparisons to how autistic brains work in some instances was interesting. She ends each chapter with useful exercises.
This is the best books I've ever read on the subject of the psychic phenomenon. This is a very well-educated and brilliant author who also happens to be psychic. She has examined and reports on medical literature I certainly do not have the smarts to wade through, but she translates it all perfectly, adding considerably to the strength of her thesis. Very, very highly recommended!

Good book - from time to time I was slightly bored by countless examples, explanations and scientific terms, but beside that, I've learned a lot about extra-sensory perception. In many ways, confirming my findings "to date", and learning about possible scientific explanations.
The book wasn't easy to read for me - mainly because once in few pages, I was hit with another idea to improve my own training :). Which is good, and I have to say, that for many psychic-wannabies, Psychic Intuition will be very inspiring.
