Book Reviews of Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives
Book Review: Excellent, Interesting, Worthwhile
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be very interesting and informative, but I suppose that depends on if you believe the premise of having many lives. Well-written, a page turner.
I will say, however, that compared to the Life Between Lives series, this book fell far short. I still gave this book 5 stars because it is very worthwhile, but look up Dr. Michael Newton's Life Between Lives series for stunning, vast, massive amounts of material gleaned from hundreds of people, as opposed to this book which essentially only derives its conclusions from one patient.
Still worththile though.
Book Review: No Hocus-Pocus
Summary: 5 Stars
I have long believed in the possibility of reincarnation and the spiritual realm. It started with the book "Z" by Vasilisk Vassilicos, on to books by Lobsang Rampa and almost naturally, Dr Raymond Moody with his groundbreaking "Life after Life". This last one lent some credibility as it was based on interviews with actual people that had undergone through Near Death Experiences (NDE).
I had heard about this book, "Many Lives, Many Masters" from others, and when I saw it referred to in another book, this one written by a reknown Rabbi, I decided to buy it.
The book has no "Hocus Pocus" element to it. Dr Brian Weiss explains what happened between him and his client in simple and real terms. The sessions are condensed into the pertinent facts and these are delivered dispassionately. On a subject so easily dramatised and exaggerated the author keeps both feet on the ground and tells it as it was, pure and simple.
It is this straightforward way of telling it that captured my credibility. I am certain Dr Weiss could have flooded the book with psyco-speak and medical terminologies. Instead, he writes for the ordinary reader that approaches the subject with trepidation. The report is delivered in a balanced and yet exciting way. The book is not only hugely readable, it is also persuasively credible in its simple retelling of facts.
I strongly urge readers interested in the subject of reincarnation to read it and read it twice! It opens a new world of possibilities and is a landmark book on the subject.

Book Review: Many lives, many masters
Summary: 5 Stars
If I may say to Dr Weiss, thank you for not only this book, but others as well. It was an educational reading. One has to remain open minded and have respect for certain things in life. Wanting to know about the past in order to understand not only oneself, but others as well and the occurance of certain situations. As was said meeting and knowing instinctly the person opposite. First class! Book Review: Classic, Genuine Account Of Author's Uncovering Past-Life Regression
Summary: 5 Stars
Brian Weiss was a well-established psychiatrist in Miami who began to use hypnosis and unexpectedly encountered past-life material and non-physical guidance while working with a patient. He courageously began to explore this further and decided to publish this book, knowing it would upset the medical and religious establishments. This is an authentic story. Past-life memories are a real phenomenon (sometimes specific verifiable details come through that only have parapsychological explanations). I've come to practice regression therapy myself as a therapist in Miami and met Brian Weiss a couple times at his talks. His books are well-written, engaging accounts of what he and his patients learn about life and our spiritual purpose, as the wisdom and memories of the soul are accessed under hypnosis. This first book by Weiss shares the story of how he was drawn into this field, and lacks some of the spiritual depth and understanding of later books. It's a nice beginning for anyone who wishes to explore how we can benefit from working with our soul's memories and wisdom to heal ourselves.Book Review: The Realm Beyond
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the fact that Dr. Weiss has taken such a passionate interest in bringing the spiritual question to the table from a scientific angle. After reading this book, and many others that delve into the realm of past lives, near death experience and what happens to the soul, I am even more convinced that we have wonderful things to look forward to in the realm beyond!
