  <default_description>Psychiatry and metaphysics blend together in this fascinating book based on a true case history. Dr. Weiss, who was once firmly entrenched in a clinical approach to psychiatry, finds himself reluctantly drawn into past-life therapy when a hypnotized client suddenly reveals details of her previous lives. During one hypnosis session his client introduces the spirit guides who have been her soul therapists in between lives. This is when the story really takes off for Weiss, who discovers that these guides have specific messages about his dead son as well as Weiss's mission in life. No, we cannot verify the truth of this story using the limited scientific tools we have available. However, it is hard to dispute that this well-respected graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School has discovered a personal truth that has led him to be an enormously popular speaker, author, and leader in the field of past-life therapy. &lt;i&gt;--Gail Hudson&lt;/i&gt; </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The case-study of a patient who claims 78 &quot;past lifetimes&quot;.  Recommended to me by a friend, I found it somewhat interesting, but not very believable.  When it comes to reincarnation, I remain a skeptic, based on the lack of even a hint of empirical proof.<br/><br/>The author wants us to ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53857675">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like this book. This was the first book I read, by accident, on this topic and it got me interested in learning more about it. I am Catholic but being Asian I have been exposed to the idea of reincarnation but never really got into reading it until this book. <br/><br/>True/not?

    <body><![CDATA[If you like it helps to refer back to my review of Many Mansions on Edgar Cayce, but this book compounded what I learned in that life changing book to a finer focused point.  What I like most about it is that it comes from a man who was very skeptical of these ideas of past lives, synchronicity, etc...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66614173">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Haven't finished it yet. It is interesting and does share commonalities with other books on the subject, such as &quot;<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15015.Conversations_with_God_An_Uncommon_Dialogue_Book_1_" title="Conversations with God   An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1) by Neale Donald Walsch">Conversations with God</a>&quot;.

    <body><![CDATA[An amazing story, but the reason I gave it 3 stars is that I didn't really believe it.  I know many will think I am just &quot;not open to it&quot;, but truly, I was.  I was prepared to be amazed.  I listened to this as an audiobook, read by Dr. Weiss himself.  Perhaps it was the lack of emotion in ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26410379">more...</a>]]></body>

Dr Brian tries the traditional psychotherapies on her for 18 months which don’t work and finally he goes for regressive hypnosis.

    <body><![CDATA[My mother gave me this to read and it was truly fascinating. For Weiss, it was a brave departure and I wonder if Oprah's blessing has given it a wider audience and a wider acceptance. For many, it will be too much to take it, and for others, an everwidening horizon to explore. For me, the underlying...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/25227687">more...</a>]]></body>
