Meet the author: Amal Awad

Growing up in an Arab Muslim family, journalist Amal Awad was keenly aware of the unseen forces at play in her life — like superstition, fatalism and jinn. From religious devotion to New Age love and light, Amal has tried a lot.

From psychic mediums and spirit guides to paleo diets and empowerment, there are questionable (and fraudulent) solutions being sold to the masses. Yet there is still a lot of good to be found in these offerings. In this funny and shrewdly observed book, Amal shares her personal journey to peace and empowerment via a wide array of psychics, healers and witches, considering the smorgasbord of spiritual thinking on offer for people wanting to #livetheirbestlife and exploring whether these practices can help, harm or both in the quest for spiritual enlightenment.
