On November 30th Forbes.com book reviewer Michael Maiello wrote a short review about Mary Browne’s book, The 5 Rules of Thought: How to Use the Power of your Mind to Get What You Want. It was an interesting review of a psychic book in that Mr. Maiello took the time to actually visit Mary Browne and have a cold reading done. As a psychic that has Wall Street clients who seek her advice, it seems logical for Mr Maiello to conduct such an interview and book review.
In his review, Mr. Maiello mentions that Mary Browne conducts positive psychic readings and helps people focus on the actions that can bring about a person’s wishes, even those with little to no psychic ability. She writes that for a person to succeed you must decide on what you want, see it happen in your mind, create an action plan and stick with it, believe in your plan and accomplish it with persistence and patience. Sounds like great advice to me!
As a psychic with clients willing to pay $400 per hour for a reading, you can bet that Mary Browne knows a thing or two about how to inspire Wall Street. It’s interesting to note that Mr. Maiello never really indicates whether the believes that Mary Browne may be a real psychic, or not. Although he does indicate that because of the speed with which Mary Browne conducted his reading, he had a tendency to remember the things that she got right, and not the things she didn’t.
In the end, Mr Maiello mentions that the Mary Browne’s book is a quick read and would be a great Holiday gift to anyone who needs peace of mind, and in these times that could just about be all of us.

The Wall Street Journal Online books section just published a brief book review of The Gold Leaf Lady and Other Parapsychological Investigations. The review itself is interesting in that it does give a nod toward an author (in this case a Mr. Stephen E. Braude) who tries to present real psychics as well as fake psychics in a fairly non-biased way.
The book reviewer, John Desio, does a good job explaining that the book itself presents five cases of claimed psychic abilities from five individuals, and attempts to either validate or disprove the psychic’s claims. As you might imagine, many of the claimed psychics are either proven to be fakes, or refuse to be tested and thus become suspects by default.
However, one case, a former Bell Boy in Chicago named Ted Serios, claimed in the mid 1960s to be able to use a piece of cardboard to channel psychic energy onto a piece of Polaroid film. Mr. Serios’ claims were put to the test by a photographer, a Mr. Nile Root, who determined that Mr. Serios was actually inserting an image into the cardboard, which then was reproduced by the Polaroid film. The interesting thing is Mr Braude interviewed a doctor who worked with Mr. Serios, and then had a session with Mr Serios after which Mr. Braude declared this an important case and not a psychic fake.
The book reviewer, Mr. Desio, concludes his review by mentioning that the biggest criticism he has of psychics is their inability to use their psychic abilities to generate a nice profit for themselves. His final sentence indicates that to prove psychic abilities a psychic should be willing to make a big bet on the outcome of the Super Bowl, and we can only assume that by winning the bet the psychic would then prove they are psychic.
You can read the full review of the book at the Wall Street Journal online, and you can purchase the book by searching at your favorite eBookseller for the title: The Gold Leaf Lady and Other Parapsychological Investigations by Stephen E. Braude.
