Finally! A no-nonsense approach to past lives!

Unlike most books about past lives (I would imagine), this book does not assume an position for or against past lives/reincarnation. Instead, it provides the reader with scientific evidence, case studies, and a no-nonsense approach to analyzing the experiences described in the case studies. I am fortunate that I found this book first before trying others about Past Lives because this book covers everything I wanted to know and left me to draw my own conclusions. I would highly recommend this book to someone who is interested in knowing about past lives and reincarnation without any bias for or against it. I would also highly recommend this book for anyone interested in psi phenomenon who has an interest in the subject, as a person reading this book would be unable to become ungrounded by some of the assumptions other psi phenomenon subjects can have. Very excellently written, wonderful book.

One of the most unbiased about reincarnation that I've read

Most of the books about reincarnation skew towards reincarnation without questioning the phenomenon. This book doesn't do that. Even though the book mainly dealt with case studies, they did a pretty good job summarizing them (and the case studies they gave were VERY interesting), questioning whether there was bias (e.g. poor Indian family claiming reincarnation with a rich Indian family), and then dealing with theories like quantum mechanics and Rupert Sheldrake's field theory, and then finally talking about how reliving one's incarnation may sometimes heal a person. I especially liked the chapter about reincarnated soulmates , people who reincarnate in this lifetime knowing they knew each other better in a past life like the father being dragged off by Roman soldiers and his daughter holding him. The doctor had them both meet each other accidentally in this life because they relived the same memory and they are now married. And of course there's the Spanish Adventuress who EXACTLY remembered her life in detail which was proven with corraborating evidence.

A pretty good book, but not exactly what I was looking for

I have always been fascinated by the notion that I could have lived another life and have even experienced something that could be construed as a past life experience. I have been looking for definite information, not case studies, which is basically what this book is about. It is a very intriguing book and I enjoy it, but it failed to answer my questions.
