Mind, Body, and Spirit Bestseller List from BookSense

BookSense publishes bestseller lists based on sales in independent bookstores nationwide.

For the eight-week period ending January 8, 2008 bestseller's in the Mind, Body, and Spirit book category are listed below.

I have read several of Sylvia Browne's previous books about her psychic experiences and found them to be fascinating, even while I find it hard to believe all her claims. She has two titles on this list (#24 and #25) and I think the one exploring the natural psychic ability of children and ways to recognize and enhance these gifts could be quite interesting.

Sue Monk Kidd, the author of the popular novels, The Secret Life of Bees (Viking, 2002) and The Mermaid Chair, published in 2005, has a book listed as #8.

Other well-known authors represented include Deepak Chopra, Shirley MacLaine, Robert Fulghum and Rhonda Byrne.
