Challenging, thought provoking, and persuasive

In "The Limits of Influence," Dr. Braude presents compelling examples and arguments to support not only the validity of non-experimental psi evidence, but also its potential value as the basis for development of a theoretical framework for psychokinesis. He includes fascinating accounts of mediums at work and discusses apparitions, telepathy, ESP, precognition, and other potential psi phenomena. I found the chapter on the "super psi" hypothesis amazing. Dr. Braude examines the concept in depth and suggests that psi might play a subtle and pervasive role in our everyday lives and be a reason for such things as coincidences or why some people are luckier, healthier, etc., than others. A solid 5 star reading experience

Worth reading!

The case reports are fascinating, and that it's a very convincing refutation of skepticism regarding psychokinesis.
