Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives Paperback - 1988
by Brian L. Weiss
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.

Reader reviews for Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Prominent Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and the Past-Life Therapy That Changed Both Their Lives
Review summary
Readers are sharply divided on this account of past-life regression. Supporters praise it as a brisk, accessible, and emotionally uplifting narrative that reduces fear of death, offers solace in times of loss, and reframes life’s purpose through messages about love and spiritual growth. Critics condemn it as pseudoscience, pointing to vague and repetitive recollections, anachronistic details (such as precise BC dates), lack of corroborating evidence or citations, and the author’s uncritical, self-validating tone. Many suggest treating it as inspirational storytelling rather than proof, while some recommend more rigorous alternatives on the topic.
