Drawing on more than 5,000 case histories, 4,000 questionnaire responses, and the results of experiments on staring, thought transference, phone telepathy, and other phenomena carried out with more than 20,000 people as well as reports and data from dozens of independent research teams, Sheldrake shows that these unexplained human abilities--such as the sense of being stared at--are not paranormal but normal, part of our biological nature. He reveals that telepathy depends on social bonds and traces its evolution from the connections between members of animal groups such as flocks, schools, and packs.

The Sense of Being Stared At contained some interesting facts and experiments, and was fascinating to read. However there were parts that were quite technical and dull, so if you are reading it for pleasure, you may want to skip those parts. However, the inclusion of experiment parameters and results means that this would be a valuable resource for the serious researcher. I particularly like the appendices, which include experiments that can be completed at home by the average layperson, and contact details where you can send the results. Overall, this is a worthy book for those who are truly interested in the subject. ( )
