Even Henry's endorsement by one of the most famous TV psychics, John Edward, of Crossing Over (2001-04), reeks of snake oil. Edward tweeted (via E! News): "It's AWESOME to see some1 young not care about FAME & put the validation of spirit first. & that says a lot as ... his show is called #hollywoodmedium." Henry does well with not stressing any specific religions, doctrines, or beliefs and merely describes his experience with his clairvoyance. “Between Two Worlds” is an unbiased read.

On countless occasions, people who have come through tell me that putting their pride aside would have made their life substantially easier and less painful.”

Thought we’re not responsible for where we come from, we are responsible for where we go. We are more than just our conditioning. We are capable of growth and change.” Every day brings new experiences and new stories shared by souls that are able to understand what truly mattered in their lives. Their messages teach us what we should value in our own. Above all, I’ve learned that transitioning to the other side gives perspective. Ironically enough, it’s the dead who have the most to teach us about life. He seems a jolly, superficially unencumbered soul, spending much of his time between sessions riding in a car with his amusingly matter-of-fact assistant Heather – who tends to respond to the arrival of fresh revelations with a non-committal “Oh”, “Yeah” or “Hmm”. Henry also hangs out with his mom Theresa, who’s an important figure here. When he’s not travelling, flipping tarot cards or enjoying his purpose-built “psychomanteum chamber” (a big wooden box), Henry is accompanying Theresa on their own quest for answers, which steers Life After Death into an unexpected genealogical subplot. The Henry family have discovered, via a DNA test, that Tyler’s grandmother is not in fact Theresa’s biological mother. So who is? Everyone has different beliefs, and whether or not the concept of a medium has any place in those beliefs, is something that is very individual. I personally believe that God gifts each person with natural talents, some of which are very prevalent. When I first started learning about my abilities, I spent endless hours at bookstores and libraries, reading multiple books a day, and searching the Internet for resources and information about what made me so different. Being the only one experiencing an entirely other world was alienating in the truest sense. I felt like I had one foot in this world and one in the next. I didn’t understand, nor did I feel understood by, either side. As a kid, learning the ropes to our earthly dimension was challenging enough, let alone throwing another one into the mix. I was somewhere in between, a messenger in the middle of two realms: a medium.

We can learn not to take things personally, to understand that behaviors are the results of conditioning, and to make conscious efforts to understand others instead of automatically reacting to them. As a result, our lives will change drastically for the better.”If you are familiar with Tyler Henry's show, then you know what the majority of this book is about. It is always a little strange to read a memoir written by a 20 year old, as they have only a limited life experience. Tyler tells us about his early years and how he first discovered his psychic abilities. When we live each day with kindness, compassion, and communicative love, there is no business left unfinished. There are no regrets or words we should have said, but didn't. There is no need for closure or forgiveness or apology of any kind.” Jezebel writer Bobby Finger expanded on this concept, describing it as an exploitative practice by dubious figures who almost always pass on the same message of "I'm fine" from deceased loved ones. This "doesn't just con their desperate, mournful targets out of a few hard-earned dollars," Finger continues, "it does a disservice to the memories of those they lost." He gives a very refreshing view on the afterlife and many components that we all wonder about... a few of my favorites being reincarnation and your pets being able to communicate with you from the other side. When Henry did a reading of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards, also in 2016, he said he saw her deceased mother holding hands with a stillborn or miscarried child. "It would have been a very traumatic experience," he told Richards. She doesn't seem to follow. After Henry offers more clues as to what he's envisioning, Richards eventually concludes, "I think my sister had one," referring to the loss of a child. Keyword: thinks.

I am what can be described as an Empath, Indigo Adult, and clairvoyant. This isn’t the medium for me (no pun intended) to dive into what this entails (Google the terms, if interested); but I will say that it is both an exhausting but amazing way to live being that it causes one to view life on another level of existence. In my opinion, everyone has these skills to some degree but some tap into it more so than others. Tyler Henry, a young man in his early 20s, is more than a self-described Macaulay Culkin look alike with a hit E!- Entertainment television reality show… he is the real deal: a true, intuitive clairvoyant. Henry provides insight into his skills and profession with, “Between Two Worlds: Lessons from the Other Side”. If there’s one overall theme I could take away, it’s to appreciate life in every moment and respond to challenges in a way that’s true to who you are, even if it’s the more difficult path. With the past stirring regrets, and the future provoking anxieties, it’s important that we live in the present moment. It is, after all, all there ever really is. Throughout my life, I’ve come to understand the world in two ways. In one sense, I’m like any other twenty-year-old adjusting to adulthood, learning to live on my own (and use a dishwasher for the first time, admittedly). Yet in a very different sense, the part of me that most people see is Tyler Henry the medium—the Macaulay Culkin look-alike who gets in touch with celebrities’ dead loved ones on television. Though most people can’t relate to what it’s like to get visual, sensorial, and mental impressions from people who’ve passed away, everyone is capable of understanding the impact those messages have on the loved ones who need it most. Whether it’s a reference to pink fuzzy dice from your aunt Edna, or an inside joke shared with a beloved grandmother, these are the messages I strive to deliver—no matter how random they may seem to me, personally.I understand that my ability is a gift and not something for which I can take any credit. I’m just a conduit for information to come through and reach those who are open to hearing it—something we all have a natural ability to do, to varying degrees. Practice breeds consistency, and the more we develop and trust in our gut feelings, the more significantly and accurately our intuition can help us. Even after doing countless readings, I still have to remind myself daily to “get out of my own way” and allow myself to be a clear vessel through which messages can flow. As Tyler’s grandmother was terminally ill with cancer in April of 2006, he began having strong intuitive hunches that would later turn into a series of profound visions that proved to be true. After a series of life changing events (including a near death experience), Tyler’s passion, calling, and life purpose has been Tyler Henry (born January 13, 1996) is a teen clairvoyant medium originally from central California. Born with a unique gift, Tyler has helped countless people acquire closure, comfort, and proof that consciousness transcends physical death. Working as an evidential-based medium, his ability to provide specific, detail-oriented specifics has allowed him to share what he sees with medical professionals and missing person cases. From Tyler Henry, clairvoyant and star of E!’s hit reality series Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry, comes Between Two Worlds, a captivating memoir about his journey as a medium thus far. The book is part autobiography mixed with his beliefs. For those who are unaware of who he is; Tyler is a self proclaimed medium with his own show. Speaking of his show- I am disappointed in it because I've only seen him give readings to celebrities. I guess it's about marketing. Perhaps "ordinary" people receiving readings wouldn't be lucrative for the show.
