In this book, Siddharth Ramakrishnan answers these questions and more as he explores the neuroscience behind intuition and proves that tarot readers aren't just making up their results.

Filled with digestible explanations and dozens of exercises, this full-color, illustrated book teaches you what intuition is scientifically and how to enhance it for more accurate readings.

This unique and important book demystifies the complexities of neuroscience, presenting them in a manner accessible to all readers.' Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch and Mastering Magic.
