Book Reviews of How to Rule the World from Your Couch
Book Review: Practical Approach to Using the Powers of Your Mind
Summary: 5 Stars
Laura Day's work has been extremely important to me. I've exchanged a couple of emails with her over the years, attended a couple of her free workshops in New York City, but don't know her beyond that. Her books on intuition have been of great value to me, so much so that I rushed out to get her new book as soon as it was available and devoured it in one marathon reading session. It did not disappoint. And yet I am a little uncomfortable about posting a review here. Intuition is "woo-hoo" stuff right? I mean, it defies logic and the materialistic mindset a lot of us are raised with. I don't want to come off as gullible.
I am an empiricist, meaning I believe in evidence and science. I was initially attracted to reading Laura Day because a great scientist, James Watson, the co-discovered of DNA, praised her. I tried the exercises in her first book on developing intuition. I was astonished that I could do some of the stuff Ms. Day insists we all can do.
There was a moment after reading Laura Day's first book when my view of what was possible shifted. I wrote the name of an elderly aunt who lived in a distant state and who I had not seen for many years, on a piece of paper, folded it and at lunch gave it to a co-worker. I asked the co-worker to tell me something about the unknown person. I had not discussed my aunt at all at work--I was thinking about her only because I had just heard some bad news about her health. I had always had a distant but okay relationship with her, though I was uncomfortable about how stingy she had always been. Pathologically stingy in my view. That was my one issue with her. I carried some anger about her once, in her stinginess, doing something hurtful to my mother. My coworker who had no idea what the name on the paper was, closed her eyes and then burst out indignantly, "My God, is this person cheap!" I kind of think my coworker accessed information not so much about my aunt as my view of her, but she had no way of finding that information other than intuitively. What are the odds of this being a coincidence? Using Laura Day's exercises I've had similar hard to explain experiences many times over the years, and have been able to use my own intuition in concretely helpful ways. I have to say with hindsight I see now it could have been more helpful if I'd been willing to trust it more.
I don't know how it works but I believe intuition exists. I have used it and it has been of help to me, and I really owe Laura Day for that. This book expands on her previous work, delves into powers of the mind beyond intuition, and I am eager to read it again--slowly this time--and try the exercises. Ms. Day writes in an engaging, accessible style and this book is an enjoyable read. If you actually use this book and experiment with the exercises, I believe it can have a real impact on your life and help you access an aspect of your own mind.
