Spiritual Connections: How to Find Spirituality Throughout All the Relationships in Your Life

by Sylvia Browne

Have you ever wondered why some relationships are wonderful and others are just catastrophic and tragic? Why do we get along with some people and with others just seem to constantly engage in bitter fighting? In this fascinating and helpful book, internationally renowned psychic Sylvia Browne examines why we form our relationships with certain individuals . . . for better or for worse. From the lifelong connection of a loving marriage to the short and bitter agony of a brief encounter leading to divorce and heartache, she reveals why we have joyful and happy relationships on the one hand and chaotic, hateful and painful ones on the other. Sylvia takes us on a remarkable excursion that covers all the different types of relationships we’ll encounter in life. From our childhood experiences to our golden years, she helps us see why we form both good and bad unions, and she also explores how our themes and charts of life can interact with others in both positive and negative ways—creating either lifelong love or friendship or a situation doomed for disaster. Sylvia enables us to come to a true understanding of why we have certain compulsions and attractions for some people while being totally repulsed by others. By utilizing Sylvia’s marvelous insights, we can all learn how to cultivate our relationships (and sift the wheat from the chaff) in order to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

About the author

Sylvia Browne was an American author and self-proclaimed psychic who built a lucrative career through books, television appearances, and psychic readings. Known for her frequent guest spots on The Montel Williams Show and Larry King Live, she claimed to communicate with angels, spirit guides, and the deceased, and said she had psychic visions from the age of three. In 1986, she founded the Society of Novus Spiritus, a Gnostic Christian church, and ran a variety of businesses, reportedly earning millions annually.
Browne wrote over 40 books, many of which were bestsellers, and maintained a dedicated fanbase throughout her life. However, her career was marked by controversy. She made numerous high-profile predictions about missing persons and criminal cases that were later proven false—errors that drew widespread criticism and scrutiny from skeptics and media outlets. A 2010 study by the Skeptical Inquirer concluded she had not been accurate in any verifiable case. Her reputation suffered further after her 1992 conviction for securities fraud.
Despite criticism from figures like James Randi and John Oliver, Browne retained a devoted following. Her vague prediction about a “pneumonia-like illness” spreading around 2020 drew renewed attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. She remained a polarizing figure—revered by some, discredited by others—until her death in 2013 at the age of 77.

Every now and again a book crosses my path that shouts, “If THIS was published, you can get a book published!” Sylvia Browne’s “Spiritual Connections” was such a book. I can’t really put into words how I felt about this read. I’m a pretty intuitive person myself and I don’t know too much about this author (besides the fact that she is well known, a psychic, and has been deceased for years now), but something felt off the entire time I was ingesting her thoughts. Her words just seemed like a bunch of gobbledygook, and it felt like she was writing in a diary for parts of it. And by that, I mean, I didn’t much care about some of her personal stories as they seemed irrelevant. I feel like I gained nothing from reading this book besides a sore butt as I read it on the floor in front of a warm fire place.

I was hoping to find some answers or clarity from this book, but sadly did not.

2.75 Audio Book- I was expecting a little more from this book. Nothing new here, although certainly some good reminders on living your best life

[Meg Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book felt more preachy than informative, and had little substance pertaining to the topic.

[🤠 · Rating 2 out of 5]

Considero que es un libro sobre "ceder" ante las problemáticas familiares, me pareció un poco adoctrinador ya que involucra el cristianismo.

I love Sylvia Browne...i think she is a wonderful person, but i think you would have to be pretty naive to not know any of the concepts in this book. (no offense to those who did like this...) I mean i did learn some good things in this book, but i know a lot about myself already and i know what kind of people i like and dislike...but i should have thought about that before picking it up..oh well! I love that she always puts her personality into her writing and always relating things to her past. I think that makes her seem more approachable and less like a famous person who wrote a book. I felt her passion in what she talked about, and i guess that's enough. I think people who are still trying to figure out what kind of person they are, or why their relationships work/don't work, you might really like this book. If you already have it kind of figured out, then this is kind of pointless...unless you are a large supporter of Ms. Browne!!~

what is most interesting about this book is it's spiritual connection to our life purposes and that we chose why we came here. some have come to teach others. some have come to learn from others. some come with a contract to be a healer and some come with a contract to be an irritant so that others may grow in their presence (even though the irritant may not be the most enjoyable person to be around). if you're on a spiritual path and wanting to read about one woman's perspective on our spiritual connectons then pick up this book

[Bridgett · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book more than I expected. It was easy and fun to read and I agreed with much of what was said in the book, which I wasn't really expecting. I'm a little confused on her ideas of soulmates, but I think I agree with her more than others I have read (I don't believe we have a "twin flame" that we spend every life together with, but maybe there's still a twin flame out there, anyways).

Regardless of what you believe about clairvoyants, I really gained some insight from this book. Sylvia shows us what we can gain from people in our lives we may label as "hopeless" or "losers" or even those that are "moochers". We get lessons from all the people in our lives rather we want to or not.

I found this book very easy to read. Sylvia offers some great advice on love and life. I enjoyed when she shared her life experiences. Reading this book has made me think about my relationships. Not only with my husband but with friends, co-workers, and family.I love how she says to love everyone. We often forget to show love to the people who make our lives easier.

though i found some of her points interesting and true i was left confused. i felt like the line between religion and spirituality at times was merged and at times very seperate. i dont feel like i learned anything beneficial or that i did not already know. this was more of an outline for human basic categorization. i give this one star.

[Chrissy · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did not actually finish this book. I had to put it down because it just got boring. I usully like books by Sylvia Brown but this one was a little too self-help. It did have some very useful, spiritual, common sense sort of advice.

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm always taken in by Sylvia's words. I enjoy all her books. This one gave you a spiritual insight into the ways of relationships. Why some people make it and some people don't. How are personas mix and don't. It made alot of sense and i was satisfied with this reading.

[Kristina Forsha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought it was a very good book explaining all the relationships in my life I may have never really thought about. It also helped me understand why I get along so well or not so well with certain people. I would recommend this book to anyone.

[Marta · Rating 4 out of 5]

her books are getting kind of repetative, but i still enjoyed this book. it helps you see how everyone in your life is there for a reason and all your relationships are purposeful.

[Bgordonsgirl · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this book. Sylvia points out a few ways we benefit from even negative connections in ways I hadn't thought of.

[Caitlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great book for for reading about ANY relationship, weather it be romantic, family, friends, everyday people on the street, even our pets!

[Whitney · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this one, not as much as some of the others but still powerful

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was okay - somewhat of a repetition of Sylvia's other books. Because I have an open mind about these subjects I enjoyed it, as I do all of her books.
