Contact with the Future by Jon Taylor is a nonfiction book examining extrasensory perception (ESP). The author is a graduate of the University of Cambridge and has dedicated the last twenty-five years of his life to researching ESP. The book provides extensive research and case studies focused on precognition, telepathy and intuition. The author walks readers through complex laboratory experiments devoted to the concept of extrasensory contact. He also examines existing theories on the subject and includes references to other scientific studies. Intuition is also examined in the book. Taylor states that intuition is what guides us in making decisions.

Precognition is an important and central concept in this book. It is the idea that the human brain obtains information about events that have not occurred yet. Taylor includes details from several experiments that support this theory. In addition to laboratory experiments, he provides details about individuals who have had dreams about future events or have had a feeling that something would happen in the future. When these events eventually take place, the details of the dreams or feelings are examined. He determined that precognition has a higher probability of occurring when the future event has strong emotional impact on the individual. The book also explores quantum physics to explain psychic phenomena.

I enjoyed reading this book. The amount of research conducted by the author is impressive. He explained the advanced scientific concepts in a manner that was easy to understand. He also supported his theories with research and case studies. I found the subject of ESP fascinating. The idea of precognition and connecting with future events may have sceptics; however, Taylor supported these concepts with a wealth of scientific research and data. What I liked most about the book were the examples provided to illustrate the complex concepts discussed. It made the book easier to understand and more enjoyable. There was nothing I disliked about the book.

It is important to note that this is a very high-level examination of a complex topic. The book is written like a college textbook. It focuses on scientific theories and case studies. It is organized into three parts in a format that is easy to follow. In the first part, Taylor introduced the concept of ESP and its history. In the second part, he took a closer look at recognition and telepathy. In the third part of the book, he discussed intuition. Several topics in the book may seem similar; however, the author expertly explained the difference between the concepts presented. In addition, he included a glossary, an appendix, references and an index. These are extremely helpful to readers who would like to learn more about the subject.

I give this book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. It is exceptionally well edited because I didn’t see any errors while reading. The topic of this book is interesting. The author conducted an impressive amount of research and presented his research in an organized manner. I recommend this book to readers who have an interest in extrasensory perception, including scientific research and case studies. The book includes advanced scientific theories and discussions that may not appeal to those readers without an interest in the scientific aspects of ESP.

I know next to nothing about extrasensory perception, but being a person that loves to always acquire new knowledge, I'm so checking this book out. Great review.

[Peace Odii]

Extrasensory perception? I'll love to read this book, in all honesty. Good job.

[Becca Olsson]

I’m certainly interested in learning more about the reality of precognition. It sounds more like a sci/fi concept and it’s fascinating how it’s being applied to real life. Great review!

You really love it when something out of a sci-fi/superhero flick seems possible in real life, no matter how improbable it is. The book would benefit from more hypothetical use cases. Just because the book has a lot of historical exposition and lab results doesn't mean I understand any use cases in real life.

[Ajiferuke Ajibola]

"Contact With the Future" by Jon Taylor is a fascinating nonfiction book that seeks to establish the connectivity of the human mind with what will happen in the future. I believe this is true. Congrats on BOTD. Beautiful review.

[Igwe Ifeanyi]

I am always interested in metaphysical subjects like this. But I was surprised the author still employed physics theories and other rational illustrations to explain these extra-sensory occurrences.

I'm not that much of a science student though, but the book was captivating and educational even though I struggled to follow through sometimes.

[Fatola Fatai]

The book is a non-fiction that provides an in-depth examination of extrasensory perception (ESP). Specifically, the book focuses on researching and presenting evidence for phenomena like Precognition, Telepathy, Intuition. Bravo to the Author.

[Bernard Ndubuisi]

Wow! It's intrigue to understand that the human brain ave the ability obtains information about events that have not occurred yet.
I feel that " Contact With the Futur" by Jon Taylor is complex but worth reading Over and over again by me for better clarity.
Congratulations BOTD.

Wow! 25years of life spent on research about ESP is something beyond my imagination. Sounds like an incredible journey and I would like to indulge in reading the book as the ESP powers and intuition are curious. I would love to read case studies and how the author has interpreted them. Thank you, Very well written review for the book.

### Book Review: *Contact with the Future: The Astonishing Power of Intuition and Precognition* by Jon Taylor

Jon Taylor's *Contact with the Future: The Astonishing Power of Intuition and Precognition* is a captivating exploration into the realms of the human mind that often elude scientific explanation. Taylor, with a compelling mix of personal anecdotes, case studies, and scientific research, delves into the fascinating phenomena of intuition and precognition, presenting them not as mere curiosities but as powerful tools that can shape our understanding of the future.

Taylor begins by laying a robust foundation, introducing readers to the concepts of intuition and precognition. He provides historical context, tracing the roots of these phenomena through various cultures and epochs, demonstrating their universal significance. His writing is accessible, making complex ideas comprehensible to a wide audience, from those with a casual interest in the subject to more seasoned scholars.

One of the book's strengths is Taylor's use of real-life case studies. These stories not only illustrate the practical applications of intuition and precognition but also humanize the abstract concepts. For instance, Taylor recounts instances where individuals had intuitive flashes that saved lives or prevented disasters, adding a layer of credibility and urgency to his arguments. These narratives are gripping and often emotionally charged, keeping readers engaged and invested.

Taylor also addresses the scientific skepticism surrounding intuition and precognition. He does not shy away from the controversy but rather embraces it, presenting research from various fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and quantum physics. This interdisciplinary approach adds depth to his arguments, showing that the scientific community is beginning to take these phenomena seriously. Taylor’s balanced perspective, acknowledging both the limitations and potential of current research, is refreshing and lends credibility to his work.

However, the book is not without its flaws. At times, Taylor's enthusiasm for the subject can lead to speculative leaps that may not sit well with more critical readers. Some sections delve into theories that, while intriguing, lack substantial empirical backing. Additionally, the book occasionally strays into the territory of self-help, which might not appeal to those looking for a strictly academic exploration.

Despite these minor drawbacks, *Contact with the Future* is a thought-provoking read that challenges our conventional understanding of time and consciousness. Taylor's ability to weave personal stories with scientific inquiry makes for an engaging narrative that is both informative and inspiring. For anyone interested in the untapped potential of the human mind, this book is a must-read.

### Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Taylor's blend of storytelling and science offers a compelling look at the power of intuition and precognition, making *Contact with the Future* a valuable addition to the literature on human consciousness and its capabilities.
