Learning from the future. A neat, eye-catching turn of phrase, that. A good title for a book, no doubt designed by some marketing sort to grab your attention, because, of course, it's a statement of the impossible. You can't learn from the future, because it hasn't happened yet. Or can you? Mary Hykel Hunt, functioning intuitive and researcher in the field of human consciousness, reveals that it's entirely possible to access your future AND that it's based on good, demonstrable science. Yes, it'll require some considerable shift in your conventional thinking, because reality is not as we see it, as science is increasingly and convincingly revealing. You will meet with some mind-boggling ideas that will leave you feeling as though your brain's been fried. But the payback will be considerable. As you free yourself from the constraints of conventional (and, as will become evident, erroneous) thinking, you'll open up for yourself a whole new universe of possibilities - literally. That's got to be worth a fried brain cell or two.
