"I found this fascinating."—Dan Rather

"The world is a better place now that SIXTH SENSE is back in print. This book is a classic that deserves to be read over and over again. No other book so elegantly combines an understanding of intuition with the sciences of parapsychology and brain physiology."—Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D., Dean of Consciousness Studies, University of Philosophical Research

"This book is the first to look seriously and carefully at the interrelationships of intuition, creativity, and other ‘psychic’ events, subjects totally ignored by mainstream science but vital to every thinking human. An important book for laymen and professionals."—Dr. Edgar Mitchell, scientist and former astronaut

"A comprehensive, probing look at a subject that has puzzled us all for centuries."—Glen Evans, Greenwich Times

Customer Reviews

A front runner
The first edition of this book was 1990 (second in 1996) before the current wave of books on intuition/psi and mind/body science was on the horizon. At that time, Nadel had been "exploring intuition, both personally and professionally" for fifteen years. Nadel was therefore one of the pioneers in this subject. That her work is still relevant today says something of its timeless quality.

What is not shown in Amazon's "Search Inside" feature of the latest edition is the preface in which Laurie Nadel describes the pivotal experience that began all this: she had travelled to San Fransisco to look for work, in 1975: She had never been there before but there was no place to stop and ask for directions. "Something" told her which turnings to take - left or right - at each intersection. After about twenty minutes she slammed on the brakes, questioning her sanity - only to realise that the offices she was looking for were only several buildings away. There was no "logical" explanation for this.

Not only did this incident inspire me to experiment for myself, I also very much liked the balance of the "rational and intuitive" that Nadel encourages. It's therefore great to see an updated edition of this book.

Nadel gives practical exercises and suggestions for explorations that are both creative and down-to-earth. This is particularly useful; although there are books now that describe recent research into the power of "non-local" mind, readers will want to know how to apply these new discoveries in their personal lives - and nothing facy or time-consuming. No special techniques, either.

Authors published recently such as Lynne McTaggart (The Intention Experiment) Bruce Lipton (The Biology of Belief) and Dawson Church (The Genie in Your Genes) inspire us with reports of incredible discoveries, and suggest special ways of drawing on our new-found mind powers. However, Laurie Nadel brings an everyday, practical approach to the whole subject that is refreshing and helpful.

Certainly, authors like Dawson Church stun us with reports that a group of people could "unwind" (activate) a sample of DNA at a distance of a 1/2 mile. I will continue to refer to his book (and other authors) for inspiration, but I have returned to Laurie Nadel's "Sixth Sense" for a practical, everyday approach.

After the initial euphoria of "The Secret" we need something as pragmatic as "The Sixth Sense." Particularly helpful if you have, like many others, had your own intuitive experiences and didn't know what to do with them.

Truly enlightening journey into your sixth sense
An insightful book for those of you who have always wondered about those "gut feelings" and if you were psychic. Sixth Sense is a fascinating read that helped me understand the dynamics of the sixth sense through spiritual AND scientific realms. Those who question their psychic ability will not question it anymore after reading this book. Even those of us who are in touch with their sixth sense will feel even more "validated" after reading this book. The intuitive exercises were fascinating to do..it appears that this powerful book was a multi-benefit read for me....Dr. Nadel's writing style makes the reader feel like your in a one-on-one-session with her while reading this book....I would highly recommend Dr. Laurie Nadel's Sixth Sense for the psychic-ly curious
and psychic-ly gifted alike!

A must read for anyone interested in this subject!
Dr. Nadel's style and content are excellent- I enjoyed this book thoroughly! The amount of relevant material that she has been able to marshall for it is amazing. Her approach to each aspect of the material is easy to understand, interestingly presented, and makes for fast and memorable reading. I found her manner of presentation to be respectful, apt, and very responsible. She opens up a huge number of avenues for further study by explicitely bringing into the picture the works of reputable and reliable experts who are experienced and very current in their perspectives. Additionally, there are plentiful suggestions from Dr. Nadel for those who wish to discover, explore, or enhance their intuitional and extrasensory abilities. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject!
