Book Reviews of Practical Intuition
Book Review: Rather chewy and difficult to swallow!
Summary: 2 Stars
I have read all the major books in this genre, and this is really the last of the bunch I had bought to read. Thankfully I left this until almost last, otherwise I may have been put off dipping my toes in this particular pool of thought and practice.
There's nothing especially dreadful about this book, and as other reviewers have said, I wanted to like this book, I really did. That established, it has to be said that this book is DULL, very, very dull. and for the most part not an engaging or enthralling type of read at all. I compare it Hicks', Losier, Klauser et al. and they are altogether much better reads. Much more engaging, much more meat on the bone and ultimately more satisfying and more rewarding.
The whole layout and feel of this book is not quite there, it's not quite professional and doesn't quite hit the mark. I found it cumbersome, and the exercises dull and lethargic. Whereas with other books in this genre I found I couldn't put the book down, here i found I couldn't pick the book up! And here I must confess that after about two years of owning it, I haven't finished it entirely and it's got put in a drawer to make room for newer stuff on my shelves. Surely any book worth its cover price would never be subjected to such indignant treatment, but alas here, it must succumb.
I know this may be irrelevant, but a couple of things I didn't like included the (copyrighted) foreword by Demi Moore (that alone speaks volumes) and also the grimacing photo of Day on the cover. She is actually a beautiful woman, so why on earth she chose the scowling middle-aged Manhattan frump-ike photo for the cover is beyond me! - I am missing something here? Anyway, with her grimacing at me ever time I laid the book on my desk, I felt loathed to pick it up!
The cynic amongst you might deride and say with an all-knowing tone in your voice, that I have missed the point, that it is I who have missed the opportunity presented here, in the words of Macaulay Culkin., "I don't think so!" All-in-all, if you are into this genre, I suggest you dig a little harder and check out some of the longer selling and altogether more enjoyable reads.
Summary of Practical Intuition
Gut feeling. Sixth sense. Hunch. No matter what it's called, intuition plays a part in the decisions we make every day. In seminars around the world, Laura Day has taught business people, financial analysts, celebrities, homemakers, doctors, lawyers, and other professionals how to consciously tap this hidden ability. Now, through a step-by-step program, first-person accounts, and real-life examples, Day shows you how to unlock the remarkable power of your mind.Practical Intuition will help you:
follow your hunches and control your enthusiasms
make better investment and business decisions
"read" other people more accurately
make more informed decisions about your health
know whether a partner is right for you
understand what you really want to do with the rest of your life
and much more
Laura Day, who has been "intuitive"--her word for "psychic"--since youth, here asserts that you, too, can milk your sixth sense for all it's worth. While Day's gift comes naturally to her, she contends that anyone can improve his or her natural intuitive instincts. While you may not win the lottery on your next try, this book may very well help you think more deeply and more clearly, helping you to function at a higher level than before. (Finding your car keys, for example, may not be a half-hour long process anymore.) Your attitude will undoubtedly have a great effect on your degree of success with her program. (If this helps at all, try to remember that Brad Pitt is a devout Day supporter, and James D. Watson, Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the DNA helix, has endorsed Day's intuitions.) At any rate, the book is filled with plenty of brain-stretching exercises, and who can't use some of those?
