⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
While comforting for its target audience, this title may alienate readers seeking rigorous spiritual theology or scientific skepticism. Those who view mediumship as mere entertainment rather than factual insight might find the premise unconvincing or overly simplistic. The book relies heavily on Caputo’s celebrity status and personal anecdotes, which may not resonate with individuals preferring anonymous, collective wisdom over a single guide’s voice. Furthermore, readers looking for deep philosophical engagement with death or existential dread may find the focus on 'everyday losses' too superficial. It is best suited for those already open to New Age metaphysics who desire practical, gentle encouragement rather than challenging intellectual debate.
