Surprisingly down-to-earth and sensible March 24, 2000 23 out of 23 found this review helpful
I've been reading up on the subject of intuition, especially as it relates to healing. Someone recommended this book to me; although I'm usually put off by the term "psychic," I felt that Dr. Orloff's credentials were impressive enough to lend some credibility to what she had to say. The first half of the book is mostly biographical, but makes an important point: what she calls the psychic (I prefer "intuitive") kept resurfacing in her life no matter how much she resisted it, and when she finally learned to integrate it with her personal and professional life it enriched both. In the second half she writes more generally about the psychic and how it affects people's lives, and I was impressed with her levelheadedness and good sense: being psychic doesn't make a person "special," and like all gifts this ability can be used for good or misused for personal gain. Her warnings about bad psychics, and those who try to control their clients through fear, were well taken. Also, I feel that her criticism of traditional psychology is right on: psychic experience, and spirituality in general, have been viewed for too long as symptoms of mental illness rather than health. Her viewpoint is not so much "religious" as spiritual, and, although that may be too much for hard-core materialists, I think most readers can relate to it. I felt that the concluding chapters were rather long and repetitious, but otherwise I found the book readable and thought-provoking.
A touching and heartfelt story of acceptance and discovery October 2, 1999 15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I am a professional in the computer business and also share the gift of the psychic and the high sensitivity that Judith describes in her book. I'm in the process of reading the book for a second time and must say that I feel as if we are brother and sister after reading this wonderful book.Her very direct writing style, and first person account with sometimes brutal honesty is refreshing and an act of candor and love not seen in many books on this subject. She has successfully placed the psychic gift in its true context, that of a God given gift to be cherished and used to better the lives of your fellow human and yourself. I can only hope that her book becomes required reading for all medical, spiritual, and even educational disciplines so that people who have the gift can be recognized early in life, and to receive the help and training they need to successfully use their gifts to hopefully help others on their paths. Judith - you are a sweetheart of a lady, and I'm sincerely hoping to see another book from you...
An incredible gift of a book October 22, 1999 11 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book has changed my life. In clear language she explains how to incorporate the psychic and the spiritual into your life. By following her guidance, I have been able to tap into the psychic abilities that I have. A must read for anyone exploring their own psychic abilities.
A rebel with a cause! February 8, 2005 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Anyone with a rebellious child should read Dr. Judith Orloff's autobiography SECOND SIGHT. It just might ease your fear and give you faith that everything will work out fine.
As a lifelong rebel myself, I'm convinced that a little "rage against the machine" can be beneficial. With age and insight, rage transforms to love, and the resulting energy transfusion can be enormous.
I recommend this book highly!

Second Sight.. Judith Orloff, M. D. March 28, 2005 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This is what I said.. after giving the book a five star. Just finished this book "Second Sight" several minutes ago. While reading; it has changed my life immediately. The words in the book are "Magic (the only word that I can think of that fits)." The words in the book are alive and become alive in another persons intuitive self. The book is a gift to mankind and far exceeds the Apollo and Shuttle programs that I have worked on. This book is a guide to ones inner space. Roy W. Grant .... Inventor, Apollo Photographer, Scientific & Technical Photographer.
