Extra-Sensory Perception by Joseph Banks Rhine is a groundbreaking, scientific work that will surprise the world. In a field where there are no absolutes and no certainty, where there has been a lot of speculation, Dr. Rhine comes across as an expert, offering to readers the fruits of long years of research, facts about topics that still appear, to many people, obscure. Readers will gain a lot of understanding into concepts like telepathy and precognition.

I was first attracted to the gorgeous cover of this well-written book, and out of curiosity, I bought it. I don't regret the choice, because the book turned out to be an eye-opener in a subject I have merely read about in sci-fi. In clear and powerful prose, the author demystifies the myths about extra-sensory perception and demonstrates that things like telepathy and perception without the senses are infinitely possible. In fact, it's a skill that can be developed.

What makes this work so compelling is that it comes as a result of a huge number of experiments and research, a work that should be considered a milestone, a surprising breakthrough in an area of science where few people want to experiment. Extra-Sensory Perception is highly informative and readers can be sure it will alter the way they approach perception.

This is the classic study of ESP by J.B. Rhine using the Zener cards (plus, circle, square, star and wavy lines). I found it an interesting read despite all the statistics. Some good discussion of the nature of ESP based on the results. The hard core skeptics won't be convinced, but if you're open to the possibility that ESP exists, I recommend this book.
