A mind-bending study of the truth behind psychic experiences in language, communication, and human connection. 

What if telepathy is already part of our daily conversation? We have all been there: a friend makes a random verbal slip, yet somehow connects with the exact, unstated thought passing through your mind. In this unconventional yet accessible book, Robin Wooffitt explores the hidden social side of psychic experiences. Blending evidence-based research with entertaining examples drawn from real conversations and exchanges, Wooffitt introduces us to the history of parapsychology and telepathy’s role in psychotherapy and argues why the psychic development literature gets it wrong. This book reveals how everyday language holds the key to extraordinary human connection. It is essential reading for anyone curious about the creative and surprising range of verbal communication as well as the unexpected quirks of interaction.
