Extraordinary Knowing: Science, Skepticism, and the Inexplicable Powers of the Human Mind

I am reading now a book, Extraordinary Knowing: Science, Skepticism, and the Inexplicable Powers of the Human Mind by a member of my church who died a few years ago, a training psychoanalyst in San Francisco at the San Francisco Psychoanalytic Institute and a singer and musical director of the Berkeley Revels.  In short, Lisby Meyer had a life and a very rich and creative one. 
I find a the book a total page turner and I am in awe at Lisby's creativity and courage in addressing the issue of extraordinary knowing, which most of us would call intuition or telepathy.  I especially am amazed at the overwhelming favorable response she got when she presented on extraordinary knowing to her fellow analysts -- so many eagerly came forward to share their own stories both from their personal lives and their professional lives.

Makes me wonder how much we all ignore our intuitive sensitivities and have no way to cultivate it.
