Sylvia Browne wrote New Age and self-help books based on her claims of psychic and mediumistic ability. The Other Side and Back describes an afterlife populated by guides and spirits, while Life on the Other Side develops a detailed account of what she believed happens after death. Past Lives, Future Healing connects present difficulties with supposed previous incarnations, and Visits from the Afterlife collects stories interpreted as contact from deceased people. Browne's books are direct, reassuring and organised around answers to spiritual questions rather than investigation of competing explanations. They fit psychic phenomena, afterlife beliefs, reincarnation and New Age spirituality. Her paranormal claims were controversial and are not supported as established scientific facts. Read more Less
