Summary: For anyone who's ever questioned the unknown this is for you
Review: I am a newcomer to the paranormal. I can only say that since reading Many Lives, Many Masters, and the other two books after this one, I feel different, as if a peacefulness has come into my inner-being. I am not as fearful of the unknown as I once was. And to the person from Ca. who wrote that it was all silly nonsense, he or she should be a little more open to lifes mysteries and the unexplainable.

Summary: Absolute silliness
Review: Author and psychotherapist Brian Weiss describes in this book a series of sessions with one particular patient. During the sessions, many of which involved hypnosis, Weiss's patient allegedly recounts many past-life experience that account for the phobias that led her to Weiss in the first place. In addition, she (the patient) serves as a medium or conduit to allow "The Masters" to speak to the doctor. "The Masters," it seems are extraordinarily wise beings on a higher plane who share their wisdom with the doctor. Throughout the book, Weiss repeatedly assures us that he is a scientist and was skeptical throughout, yet no trace of any serious skepticism shows up. In fact, the "evidence" on which he relies is both contradictory and easily faked. For example, the patient purportedly develops psychic powers and picks every winner at a race track. As evidence, she produces all the winning tickets. Had she been intent on fooling him, she could have, for a modest cash outlay, simply placed a bet on every horse in every race and kept only the winning stubs. Alternatively, she could have picked up discarded winning tickets after they had been paid. Allegedly, she donated her winnings to charity. "Many Lives, Many Masters" is a farce that any moderately alert reader should see through in an instant. The evidence Weiss offers in support of his claims does little to verify them and much to discredit them, and the logic is both circular and broken. Perhaps this book should be, as another reader suggests, required reading, but only to demonstrate how gullible an author can be. One very strong *caveat* is in order for anybody who has lost a loved one after a coma: It will not come as pleasant news to hear that the loved one _chose_ to leave you (alleged wisdom from "The Masters").

Summary: I view life through different eyes and a calmer soul -
Review: Many Lives is a must for anyone who is battling with any Religions issue; where and how they fit into this realm. After 14 years of anguish and searching I am finally at peace with what I believe. Many lives revealed to me that everyone has an individual path to walk along and individual lessons to achieve. I have learnt that the lesson are sometimes very easy to find, its putting them into practise that is the most challenging, life changing and enriching experience in life's journey. Thank you Dr Weiss.

Review: This book will change your life. I wish that I could buy thousands of copies of this book and give them to everyone I meet. I wish it would be required reading in high school or college.

Summary: AN INSPIRATION TO LAUNCH INTO SOUL EXPLORATION
Review: THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY MOVING BOOK. IT INSPIRED ME TO JOURNEY INSIDE AND EXPLORE THE QUESTIONS OF WHO I AM--AND WHO I MAY HAVE BEEN. IT PROVOKES THE QUESTIONING OF COINCIDENCE AND INTUITION. WHAT IS IT THAT I'VE BROUGHT TO THIS LIFE THAT I'VE ABSORBED FROM OTHERS.... I HAVE GONE ON TO READ OTHER BOOKS ON THE SAME SUBJECT AND CONSIDER MYSELF ON A JOURNEY TO LEARN AS MUCH ABOUT LIFE AS WE "KNOW" IT AND ABOUT LIVES I MAY HAVE KNOWN.

Summary: A must read for anyone who has lost a loved one.
Review: I started listening to this book a few days before my father died. It really helped me accept the loss and know that all was for the best. I didn't want the story to end and I listened to it twice more,so I could fully absorb what the "masters" were trying to tell us.
