Born into a family with a long psychic lineage, Sylvia Browne became aware as a child that life existed in dimensions beyond our own. Life on the Other Side is Browne's vision of this other existence. The Other Side, she believes, is our home-where we came from and where we will return between lifetimes. Drawing upon both personal and professional experiences, Browne provides a guide for living-one based on her belief that "religion, spirituality and paranormal are consistent parts of God's creation."

Life on the Other Side also explores Browne's theories about reincarnation and a wealth of paranormal experiences, including astral travel, channeling, past life regressions, and near-death encounters.
