Amazon.com
The title of this book is almost deceptive. You might think that this is just another treatise on "discovering your psychic potential," but it is actually a respectable work that repeatedly stresses the importance of the scientific method. It stands out amid the alarming number of books that claim to teach readers how to tap into hidden psychic abilities, yet provide no quantifiable evidence to prove that the methods work, or even that psychic ability exists. The experiments employed in Test Your Psychic Powers have long been used by parapsychologists in their quest to validate the existence of psychic abilities, and are designed to minimize the possibility of erroneous conclusions. It is obvious that authors Susan Blackmore and Adam Hart-Davis know what they're talking about, and while they provide plenty of case histories supporting the existence of psychic phenomena, they leave the final judgement up to readers.
Der Autor über sein Buch
Find out the truth for yourself - try the experiments.
Do you want to know the truth about ESP? Do you long to know who’s right about precognition, or the powers of the ouija board? Have you ever bought a crystal or tried dowsing and wondered whether they really work? And what about astrology? The best way to find out is to do your own experiments. Then you can rely on your own results and not just someone else’s opinion. This book tells you how.

Have you ever bought a crystal or tried dowsing and wondered whether they really work? And what about astrology? The best way to find out is to do your own experiments. Then you can rely on your own results and not just someone else’s opinion. This book tells you how.
There are ten chapters. Each starts with the story of an extraordinary experience or phenomenon, from premonitions that came true to the powers of mind over matter. This is followed by directions for carrying out both simple and more complicated experiments. Some can be easily done at home on your own, while others are better suited to groups of friends or students. Many are ideal for school or college projects. Simple statistics are explained and tables given for working out the significance your results. The book would be a useful text for school or undergraduate courses on experimental design or critical thinking.
Why did we write the book? Adam and I have both had years of experience hunting for psychic phenomena - me as an academic parapsychologist carrying out experiments and studying case reports, and he as a television producer, making programmes like Arthur C Clarke’s World of Strange Powers. And we both had the same experience - that the more we investigated the more skeptical we became. I have often found myself arguing with people that psychic phenomena probably do not exist. But I might be wrong, and I would rather that other people formed their own opinion. The only way to do that properly is to try some experiments for yourself. I hope you enjoy them.

Interesting book
20. Oktober 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
I suspect a microencephalic aardvark has more psychic ability than I do, but I looked at this book to see if there was any help for over-educated but psychically benighted Neanderthals like myself. Unfortunately, they don't tell you know to acquire these esoteric abilities, but for those lucky souls who already possess mental powers far beyond those of us mere mortals, this book is full of interesting tests if you want to test your psychic quotient, so to speak.
