The Sense of Being Stared At: And Other Unexplained Powers of the Human Mind

Most Of Us Know It Well--the Almost Physical Sensation That We Are The Object Of Someone’s Attention. Is The Feeling All In Our Heads? What About Related Phenomena, Such As Telepathy And Premonitions? Are They Merely Subjective Beliefs? In The Sense Of Being Stared At, Renowned Biologist Rupert Sheldrake Explores The Intricacies Of The Mind And Discovers That Our Perceptive Abilities Are Stronger Than Most Of Us Could Have Imagined. Sheldrake Argues Persuasively In This Compelling Book That Such Phenomena Are, In Fact, Real. He Rejects The Label Of Paranormal And Shows How These Psychic Occurrences Are In Fact A Normal Part Of Human Nature. Combining The Tradition Of Pragmatic Experimentation With A Refusal To Accept The Conventional Answers To Explain Such Phenomena, Sheldrake Pioneers An Intriguing New Inquiry Into The Mysteries Of Our Deepest Nature. Rigorously Researched Yet Completely Accessible, This Groundbreaking Book Provides A Refreshing New Way Of Thinking About Ourselves And Our Relationships With Other People, Animals, And The World Around Us.
