Many people think skepticism is being "against" some belief or tenent. However, it has been defined by R. H. Popkin as a "questioning attitude of knowledge, facts, or opinions/beliefs stated as facts." To me, that means open-mindedness, and a willingness to be convinced.
I am a skeptic.
It bugs me when mediums use open/leading questions when doing a reading. "Does the letter C mean anything to you? I sense a man, if that right? I get a Charlie or a Charles. Is that right?"

I got this book for a cousin who recently lost her husband to colon cancer, and ended up reading it before giving it to her. It is a great book and gave me added perspective as to what is happening "on the other side". One of my favorite parts is "living well is partially about perspective, and then action. If you have a moment of inspiration about how you might improve the quality of another person's life and don't act on it, then you've really done nothing with that inspiring idea. So know you...more
This was a really cool book because I always really enjoyed the tv show Medium. It was neat to read a book by the actual Allison DuBois. I firmly believe that this woman has a gift for communicating with the dead. Her talents have been scientifically verified in many studies.
The layout of this book was interesting because the subject who was read gave their interpretations of the experience and then Allison explained how the deceased came through to her and what she perceived.

I purchased this book randomly and it sat on my nightstand for months. My father passed away rather suddenly and there it say waiting for me to pick it up. This book provided me with comfort that little else could provide. It put forth scientific proof of Allison DuBois's gift and confirmed many things I had hoped about life after death. I feel she presents her case well and avoids sensationalizing her gift, but instead attempts to ease the minds of grieving survivors and ignites some hope. I wo...more

I lent it to my sister, but she didn't read it
First off, I love the show Medium based on Alison and her experiences. I am not sure if I am a big believer in Ghosts or whatever. but I liked this book a lot, it gave me some perspective on the dead and how they feel. I know that sometimes I have dreams about those close to me who have passed, my grandfather often. I know that these may just be my mind, but they could be more, I guess I will have to find out about that when I die and have all my questions answered. This book was a quick read, a...more
I wanted to give this book 5 stars because the main message of the story is so beautiful (and true) that it warrants praise. But, the editors of this book sadly did a horrible job, and thus I felt that many concepts within were not clear due to poor editing. Mrs. DuBois is a medium after all, not a writer.
With regards to the many concepts and ideas brought forth in this book, I loved savoring every page. As a person who has lost someone immediately close to me, I found this book to be soothing,...more

I'm still in the middle of the book, which means I'm reading it really, really slowly. It's a very fast read.
I take some days off from reading it, even though I LOVE it. One reason for that: I cry like a baby when I read it! I already knew there's an afterlife and that the dead can communicate to us. So as I'm reading it and getting people's stories about how their loved ones passed away and how they're still communicating with them now, I bawl! I think what Allison has put together is a GREAT t...more

Surprisingly very interesting to listen to (Book on tape) and overall very touching.
I enjoyed it and will most likely try to listen to her other stuff as well.
Apparently the tv show "Medium" is based on the life of Allison DuBois who is a real life medium who can speak to deceased souls , have premonitions, have visions of what happened and all the psychic stuff. She really helps the police in murder investigations but the show is based on her life, but of course the show is a tv show and they...more

I was in a Dr's office when I started talking to a lady who had noticed I was reading "The Shack". We shared stories she had recently lost her husband. And I shared with her that I lost my son last year. She recommended this book to me which really helped me understand some of the things that was happening to my daughter and I. I recommend to anyone who has had a love one pass. I found it comforting and found a lot of ansers within the book.
This is a great book about Allison DuBois, the woman who is played by Patricia Arquette on the tv show "Medium." She is a real life person who has an incredible ability to bring messages from other realms to people who have suffered a loss. She knows information only the parent or family would know and there is account after account detailing this how she went through rigorous testing with various universities arranging to have her do readings on a person and her accuracy was astounding everytim...more
This book was very interesting. I do believe people out there in this world have a special gift. As a fan of the show Medium I gobbled this book up. Loved how she covered the part about suicides and how people who commit suicide do not go to hell, they are accepted in heaven for they were not in their right minds when they chose that certain act upon themselves. I really liked reading that. Fast read.
I'm a military widow, but I lost my husband to suicide, 2 weeks after returning home from Iraq.
This book didn't cover military deaths BUT it did cover suicide and accidents. My best friend lost her husband to drowning, 2 days after returning home from Iraq.
So long story short, this book brought ALOT of closure to our lives. It's an amazing read!

I can just picture my friends who are opening their email from good reads and thinking "Lyndsey read this???" I kept seeing it at library and felt oddly drawn to it. While sad at sometimes. I felt there was a lot of it that was quite plausible. I left feeling hopeful and not really caring at the end if I thought she was a medium or not.
I picked this one up because I love the show Medium, and obviously, the author is the inspiration for the main character with the same name. It was very interesting. A whole lot of it made sense to me. It also made me miss people I've lost and wonder why they don't try to contact me in an obvious way.
This is the second book by Allison DuBois, the woman who inspired the TV show Medium.
I find her life and experiences fascinating, and this was a great read. My only criticism of the book is that her writing is poorly structured, and the chapters are not well organised. This was the same with her last book, but this is one author I will forgive without question, as she has an amazing gift.

Great book. Read this when my cousin died of leukemia. Made me feel happier while grieving and this book and her others made me feel close to my loved ones that passed. I also love hearing bout her life n how she grew up to. Great book. She's a very special person.
Allison DuBois, the author, is who the television show Medium is written about. This was a little about her life and some of her cases. But the basic theme was the dead are with us and we can communicate with them. I did enjoy the book for sure.
I was interested to read this book because I've seen "Medium," the TV show based on Allison DuBois's life. The book was a bit disappointing because she's definitely not a metaphysicist. She talks in straightforward, lay language about her gifts and experiences she's had with clients. There's no analysis of her gifts, or an attempt to fit them into a larger picture. That's fine - it would be like asking a great painter or musician exactly how they do their craft. Much of it is intuitive and can't...more
The inspiration for the television show Medium answers questions most commonly asked of her and other mediums such as "Why do spirits hang around us?" and "How much of the show is based on her life?".
I was interested to see what the real Allison Dubois had to say about her experiences, and i wasn't disappointed. Whether you believe the soul survives the death of the body or not, this is an insightful read.
The last chapters are the best where she talks about living well.The first half is like book 1. I enjoyed the second half. She talks about religion which is different from the former secular book 1.
A friend and I recently went to an Alison Dubois book signing in Melbourne, Australia. She was so great and charismatic, and I love the books so much. The television show doesn't do Alison justice.
I have always enjoyed and believed in the after life. This book was sad at times to listen to because of the sad stories but it was also peaceful to learn about comforting information.
This book gave me comfort during the difficult loss of a close loved one. It changed the way I feel about life after death. Highly recommend this amazing book. Allison Dubois is great!
This book is worth reading if you've ever lost someone close to you.
Actually is worth the read even if you haven't yet lost someone. It really gives you stuff to think about.

I liked reading this book although the author rambled at times. Her version of life after death is compatible with my own beliefs. Overall, this is a easy quick read.
This book has been inspirational. After my beloved father died my world fell apart.
Allison's book has given me reassurance that he is in a better place.

I picked this book up at the local library. I was just starting the process of divorcing my spouse, and about to embark on returning to college to study Holistic Therapies. I knew nothing about the TV show Medium which would soon be a personal favourite!

I love the show Mediuma nd have read all the other books by Allion Dubois and this book was a little bit like the others, still a good read though.
Well, I should start off by saying I definatly believe her and in her ability. I just thought the book would be focused more on understanding and interpreting the "signs." So I was disapointed for the book to be so focused on the stories of her readings and her TV show. Not alot of information about understanding what it is a person is perceiving during a supernatural occurance. It remains, yet again, Unexplained.

Allison Dubois's unique story, the inspiration for the hit NBC TV series Medium, started during her senior year at Arizona State University while she was interning at the D.A.'s office. Soon after, researchers at the University of Arizona validated her ability through a series of tests. Allison continues to support research as a medium, as a member of the Veritas Research Program Mediums Committee...more
