"An exemplary and eloquently written story that makes it easy for nonbelievers in intuition to believe. You must read this book."
– Psychology Today
Now with a new foreword from the author,
New York Times bestselling author Dr. Judith Orloff tells her remarkable life story and teaches you how to recognize and trust your own intuitive gifts to improve your life—and the lives of those around you.
In this updated edition, Dr. Orloff reflects on her career and the sea change that modern medicine and psychiatry have experienced since
Second Sight was first published. She expands her earlier ideas and further explores intuition’s role in maintaining physical health and emotional well-being, using examples from her own and her patients’ lives. This is both a remarkable self-portrait of one woman’s journey toward the acceptance of intuition as a therapeutic tool, and a comprehensive look at how you, too, can develop your intuition, transform your health, and revolutionize your everyday life.
"Orloff is a true visionary. She is the kind of physician we wish we all had." – Caroline Myss, Ph.D., author of
Sacred Contracts
"
Second Sight is a page turner...controversial. It shares the struggles and successes of a courageous physician who fights against a skeptical medical system to validate the power of intuition. You will find a new friend in Judith as her writing is as intimate as if she was talking to you in her living room." —Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of
Mending the Mind, Minding the Spirit
"Judith Orloff is a seriously talented storyteller, and her book moves like a thriller...Forgive me this moment of intuition, but this book feels right." –Jesse Kornbluth,

| I am enjoying reading this book. The stories are interesting and inspire me to nurture my intuition. Dr Judith teaches us in gentle ways that we too can be more intuitive and where to start. An easy read for the curious. |

| In this wonderful book Dr. Orloff tells a fascinating, insightful, and forthright tale of her life as a very gifted intuitive. Her willingness to bare her soul regarding her experiences growing up with intuitive abilities is admirable, and the quality of the writing is nothing less than exceptional. As I read the book I honestly got the sense at times that she was sitting across from me in my own living room talking to me as an old friend would. The many stories she relates about how she's been able to successfully integrate conventional medical/psychiatric care with her intuitive skills make for very interesting reading indeed. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the entire subject of intuition. |

Having read "Positive Energy" by Dr. Orloff I was eager to learn more of her life story and how she was able to successfully merge two divergent worlds-medicine and the world of intuition. As a mental health practitioner for 30 years ( in traditional settings) I have frequently wondered if the field was missing a core piece in terms of healing. But mental health practitioners in traditional settings often encounter skepticism or ridicule when the idea of intuition is raised in a clinical setting. Often, the idea of paranormal or intuition is not mentioned out loud but discussed quietly among accepting colleagues. Finding "Second Sight" was particularly exciting for me because Dr. Orloff utilizes both her academic training and her innate intuitive abilities. A trained psychiatrist who combines the best of both worlds!
Judith Orloff reminds all of us that there is much in healing that can transcend scientific data originating from the rational or linear brain. In telling her own fascinating story, she illustrates that often people can be dismissed or written off as emotionally/ psychiatrically disturbed when intuitive experiences are wrongly viewed as pathological or dysfunctional. It is a poignant comment about how quickly the professionals can slap a label on a person who may be struggling to understand their own emerging intuitive abilities. It also reminds us that the "helping professions" are sometimes not so helpful.
If Dr. Orloff merely told the story of her life journey- the book would be worth reading for that piece alone. But wrapped in the context of her own story are important insights about how we view reality- and how each individual has the seed of intuition- just waiting to be nurtured. There are sections also that are quite helpful in terms of guiding the reader through exercises to facilitate intuitive growth.
I love this book-and will continue to give to friends...Can hardly wait for the movie!! And there really should be a film about this special life...

| Dr Orloff's Second Sight captivated me from the first chapter. She goes into her early life and confusion surrounding her intution to her adult life and decision to become a Doctor. I found the accounts of her intuitive experiences fascinating. Dr Orloff is very honest about her life as an intuitive and Psychiatrist and how she managed to combine both to be the incredible healer that she is today. She also provides some great tools for developing your own intuition. I would recommend this for biography readers and people interested in intuition generally. |
