I expected a more pragmatic approach. I was not impressed by the discussion. I may need tospend more time on the proposed exercises, however. A good part of the book may be skipped without problems.

Theresa Cheung and Dr. Julia Mossbridge have compiled here a near-effortless read on discovering or refining your precognition abilities. Yeah, it sounds fantastically New Age-ish, but hear me out.

The two authors are quite aware of the responses given when discussing the act of recognizing information from the future, and packaged within their work are explanations as to what it really means to be a "Precog", how they currently function in our society, anticipations on how they can be better utilized, and, of course, how you, the reader, fits in to all of this.

You're likely reading because you're a) curious to learn, b) curious to give it a try, or c) both. The book appears to set you up well for the third option, giving numerous outside resources (a website to go join and try your ever-evolving abilities out on), other reading, and appendices with exercises and such. Don't fret that you'll be weighed down with vernacular and definitions; you're comforted with even reiterations of many of the hard-to-grasp concepts and given copious amounts of anecdotes to further illustrate what's trying to be conveyed.

Like any muscle that needs strengthening in order to perform to its maximum potential, Cheung and Mossbridge aim to set you on the right path; and, also like work with your muscles, there comes a distinct level of responsibility/safety---to yourself and to others. Often stated within this book are cautions to be transparent and aware of your own mental health whilst conducting these exercises. The Premonition Code sets out to create and influence Precogs of a positive nature, to let this publication be a genesis for people to use their ability to help themselves and those around them.

At the very, very worst, this book will endow you with a meditative routine that will increase your overall well-being. At best? Well, who's to say? Seems that the possibilities are quite numerous.

I haven't tried out the website yet, but I plan on it soon as of the publication of this review. I believe in earnest that The Premonition Code is a book that could really change the way you look at time, the future, and how you view your dreams. It's quite a short read, it's supremely structured, and it's not out to waste your time.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Watkins Publishing for the advance copy.
