Wheels of a Soul: Reincarnation and Kabbalah
Wheels of a Soul is the book about reincarnation for 21st century readers. Here Rav Berg shows how an absolutely fundamental human precept -- that we have been here before, and that we will return here again until "we get it right" -- was for centuries either suppressed or ignored by religious and secular authorities. This is not just another New Age tract on "crossing over to the other side." This is the rediscovery of a principle that explains the reality we experience every day.
In a brilliant explanation of reincarnation for the modern reader, Rav Berg draws on basic Kabbalistic sources such as the Bible and the Zohar.
This is a revolutionary concept and Rav Berg presents it with exquisite clarity. In doing so, he answers questions that have compelled humankind for centuries: For what purpose are we in the world -- and how can we find the soul mate that will help us fulfill that purpose? Have we been here before -- and how can today's events illuminate past lifetimes? What is the true meaning of fate -- and how can we control fate through the power of our own free will?

This book is- just wow.
I would definitely reccomend having at least a medium level of Kabbalah studies before reading this (ie. K2?), it is a very complicated book that touches on the Kabbalistic connection between reincarnation and tikkun, how both of those work and why/how death happens (all according to judaism and kabbalistic studies of course), so I reccommend a medium understanding level simply to be able to fully understand the terminology used here and the implications of it all, being that it is a very complex work, typically reccommended to students after finishing K3.
I was given this book by my Kabbalah mentor Esther, a wonderful girl, when i was just about halfway through K1. She considered that I was advanced enough from my own research and previous understanding as well as intelligence for this to be my FIRST Kabbalah book ever (about 6-8 years after having read basic kabbalah for teens when i was very young), and am I ever so glad she decided to give it to me. It is a marvelous piece that kept me up until my eyes were closing on their own from exhaustion, in wonder at everything it talks about.
If you are a Kabbalah student then you ABSOLUTELY have to read this book. It will boost your studies and personal work insanely and give you a different perspective on death, life, tikkun and klippots.
Shalom and chag sameach since it will soon be hannukah!

This book was pretty cheesy. I was expecting something less woo but that's my fault. going in. No fault of the authors or with the content of the book. I just didn't care for it is all and I did not enjoy finishing it.

A book that wants to theorize about everything and ends up being speculative and lacking of depth

This book was recommended to me, and I really tried to give it a chance - see it through to the end. But, I just can't do it. I'm not the type of person to leave things unfinished... but the book was very poorly written (in my opinion) with little evidence to support the conclusions it was making. I definitely won't be recommending it to anyone!

Combination of spiritual and scientific perspectives on reincarnation. Recommended only for those interested in the field of study; to be read with an open mind.
