Summary: Want to find out more about dealing with issues?
Comment: I absolutely loved this book. Mary Browne is apparently a fairly well known psychic, and she offers advice here in the form of cases from her files of clients dealing with life issues. The book summarizes the tales of the woman that can't stop spending money, of other women that feel they would be better off leaving their husbands for the men they are having affairs with, and many other interesting stories. Browne also discusses the issues of reincarnation and karma. She specifically goes into the effects on one's karma from various actions, which is interesting and believable, even if the concepts of reincarnation and karma are not ideas you believe in.
The most interesting point of the book for me was the specifics she provided on going through past lives. For anyone that is interested in this kind of thing, you must pick up this book. I have already recommended it to one friend, and I believe she enjoyed it greatly. I need to get my mom to read this book, and plan to read more books by Mary Browne.

Summary: A good message clouded by self-absorption
Comment: I'm not going to bash this book because overall I found author Mary Browne's explanation of karma and anecdotal evidence of how it works to be effective and interesting.
But she could have reduced the size of this book and saved some trees in the process by cutting back on the amount of time she spends praising herself.
To say Mary Browne is full of herself is an understatement. This is an author who can barely get through a passage without shoe-horning in some reference to how gifted or evolved she is.
For instance, she brags that she has a spirit guide - something she points out that most people don't have because they just aren't good enough.
The descriptions of her sessions as a psychic to the wealthy ooze with arrogance, self-importance and condescension.
The only person she seems to believe has surpassed her at all is her mysterious teacher, Lawrence, whom she emphasizes selected her as a pupil presumably because - you got it - she was just so darn worthy.
The book is peppered with conversations between her and this near-perfect fellow in which they dazzle each other with their brilliance.
After reading this book, while the concept of karma was clearer, the author remained a puzzle. Is Mary Browne really as egotistical as she appears or is she so insecure that she feels the need to prove her importance to readers ad nauseum?
If it truly is karma to learn from the missteps of our current lives, perhaps the author can learn something from her own book and exercise a little humility in her next one.

Summary: I liked it at first
Comment: When I first got this book I loved it but later when I got more into spiritual things I started to disagree with some of the things she says. All and all this is a good book.
