Practical Intuition in Love: Start a Journey Through Pleasure to the Love of Your Life
Laura Day. HarperCollins Publishers, $23 (225pp) ISBN 978-0-06-017578-8
Taking yet another look at using intuition in daily life, Day (Practical Intuition; Practical Intuition for Success) focuses here on personal relationships. She offers useful guidance ""not only for attracting what you want, but also for discovering what it is you want in the first place."" Day leads readers through ""six simple steps"" (which she repeatedly insists must be studied and practiced in the order given) for doing so: finding your ""state of pleasure,"" setting your goal, making space in your life for love, building a network of friends and supporters, using relationship skills daily and maintaining boundaries and individual identity within the context of a romantic relationship. Although it's often easy to overlook how intuition figures into her advice, Day does supply occasional nuggets of insight into consciously using intuition throughout this process, including using mental telepathy for creating positive energy between people, asking yourself ""intuition questions"" and perceiving intuitive answers and information. Day is often redundant, padding each chapter, for example, with a superfluous ""love byte"" in which she summarizes and even repeats her main points verbatim. Including many exercises and personal stories from her workshops, however, Day offers sound general advice with just a touch of elegant insight. Major ad/promo; simultaneous HarperAudio. (Oct.)
