Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives

Brian Weiss, a psychiatrist trained in conventional methods, describes the case of a young patient named Catherine who came to him with anxiety and phobias. During hypnosis, she began recalling what seemed to be past lives, from ancient Egypt to the Middle Ages, and then relayed messages from spiritual beings she called the Masters, on subjects such as death, love, and the purpose of life. Weiss writes that her symptoms eased and that he changed his own beliefs about reincarnation. He presents it as a true account of his therapeutic work.

It suits readers curious about reincarnation, hypnosis, and life after death, as a personal account from a clinician. Skeptical readers can treat it as a case study of belief, and the reader should weigh its claims for themselves.

Inward-looking; an easy read.
