About this title: Dr. Weiss was skeptical when one of his patients began recalling past-life traumas. But as he began working on past-life therapy, and the patient began channeling messages about Dr. Weiss's family and dead son, his skepticism eroded. Curing his patient, Dr. Weis embarked on a new, more meaningful phase of his career.

"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. and has truly begun to study these topics in a very clinical way. This story of Catherine is scrutinized by himself and all quotes come to the page unedited which helped me in drawing my own conclusions as to what to think."
"I gave this book four stars because it inspired such interesting discussion at the book club last month. I have never read a book on reincarnation before so I was super fascinated with the subject. The book is about a patient of Dr. Weiss who he puts under hypnosis over a series of visits and, during this regression, uncovers very distinct past lives. He feels this experience is a convincing argument for the concept of reincarnation.
The book club fell into 3 separate category responses. 1) That the story was indeed compelling enough to validate the notion of reincarnation 2) that the story was compelling but there were some discrepancies that needed to be observed to uncover any bias on the part of the patient or doctor and 3) That the book had value and merit not because it necessarily validated reincarnation but it provided an alternative explanation and solution for some events in life and provided hope for afterlife because of the way certain lives were entertwined during this patient's story."
"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.
True/not? Who knows but that's what our world is full of questions and mysteries. I like to believe that it's true just because of the relationships that I have with people around me. Somehow I just felt like I've known them for ages even though we've only met.
The book kept me interested and have made me read more on this topic and of course other books by this author."
""Many Lives, Many Masters" was definitely engaging and thought-provoking, but hardly scientific, despite Weiss' claims to the contrary. I grew up reading New Age spirituality books, so this one helped me reconnect with some comforting ideals. Definitely a good read, even for the skeptical.
I am, however, a little concerned about the tone of the last chapter. I think the ideology he puts forth can, when taken out of context, have negative and disastrous consequences. After all, if every soul chooses its own life and its own lessons, what motivation do we have to engage in programs designed to better someone else's condition? For example, if a soul chose to be poor, why should anyone intervene and potentially thwart that soul's lessons? It's a slippery slope."
