Product Description
From Amazon
Best-selling psychic Sylvia Browne offers a detailed account of life in heaven in Life On the Other Side. Readers should be warned that it takes a huge leap of faith to follow this celebrity psychic across the chasm of doubt to the Other Side. In her opening chapters she explains that she is like the young boy in the movie The Sixth Sense, she sees dead people. When she was a child these "spirits" came into her room at night and disappeared when a light went on. "To this day I can't sleep in a completely dark room, because the minute I try it the room starts filling up", she writes. "As a child, it was scary. As an adult, it's just annoying!"
Once she establishes her lengthy connections to life after death (including conversations with a spirit guide named Francine and her own near-death experience), Browne launches into life in the fourth dimension. In a chapter titled "After the Tunnel, Arriving on the Other Side", Browne explains that newcomers pass through a "Hall of Wisdom" and then review their most recent life through a "Scanning Machine". In the chapter "Beyond the Entrance", Brown claims that spirits live in whatever kind of home they've longed for, or they recreate a favourite home from Earth. Plus, "the more spiritually advanced we become, the more physical beauty we are given, as a badge of our progress and hard work". Sex is known as "merging", and does not require birth control or any commitments of exclusivity. These kinds of glowing accounts of the other side cause sceptics to sneer, believers to feel comforted and thousands of fans to keep on buying her books. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Browne has been spreading her popular and uplifting psychic messages in private practice and on daytime talk shows for decades; her 1999 book, The Other Side and Back, hit number one on the PW bestseller list. Now she's back with a plainspoken, good-humored guide to the invisible worldAwhich some people call the "afterlife" and others call "heaven"Athat, she argues, is just "the other side" of our world. Browne takes readers on a detailed tour (with illustrations!) of this paradise, where there are buildings (concert halls, athletic stadiums, libraries and schoolsAbut no shopping malls); where psychological help is available for those who need help making the transition; and where "we don't need to eat," but we can do so for sheer pleasure (and we don't need bathrooms afterward). Drawing on her years of experience as a psychic hypnotist and healer, Browne suggests that the other side is a kind of rest stop for our souls, where we go in between our multiple sojourns in this dimension. The folks over there, she argues, can talk to us, help us cure AIDS and guide us as we try to heal the pain in our lives. Browne anticipates reader skepticism with a kind of tough-edged patienceAshe's been there and seems to genuinely want to help readers get past their crippling disbelief so they can understand the cycles of life. And she's armed with examples to show she's not making any of this upAshe tells of skeptics who, when hypnotized, began speaking ancient, dead languages they couldn't possible have learned in this lifetime and of audiotape recordings of voices from the other side. Although the book isn't likely to make believers out of scoffers, it is a well-written and entertaining cultural bellwether. BOMC, QPB, One Spirit, Literary Guild, Doubleday Book Club selections.

'Life on the Other Side' is favorite Sylvia Browne book for this reader!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Life on the Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was my favorite out of the four that I've read from Sylvia Browne. It touched on some details already mentioned in 'The Other Side and Back' but went further by going into much greater detail about life on the other side in a step-by-step format. If the very idea of the 'scanning machine' didn't make a person re-think their future actions and words, I don't know what would! Discusses primary and secondary life themes and it just might provide you the opportunity to understand a few people in your life a bit better, realizing that we are all at different levels on our soul's journey. Not sure what to believe about life on the other side? This book may just be the idea you were waiting with bated breath to grab on to, and in the process have you looking forward to going home.

This review is from: Life on the Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
Both the product and the service were excellent. Oh, and did I mention price? The mailing costs almost dwarfed the product costs. But many thanks for making the book available and the prompt service at "crunch time" just before Christmas.

very good!,
By ryan (tampa , FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life on the Other Side (Mass Market Paperback)
I think that Sylvia's book is a great read. And very genuine. Yeah, it does tell me everything I want to hear, but shouldn't that be what heaven is all about. It wouldn't be heaven if it wasn't as good as she says it is. Sylvia has definitly proven herself. I would recommend this book to people with an open mind, and people that dont use stupid arguments like 'oh she is just trying to make money', and people that dont already decide wheather they believe or not before they even read the first page, and to people with common sense, and to mature people. Because most of the bad reviews come from immature people who said exactly what my 14 year old friend said (hes very immature)
