There are far more definitive books on the subject of reincarnation. This was the third straight book on reicarnation I'd read in a week, and I found it to be the least helpful. While the author covers some important facets of spirituality and reicarnation, the manner and tone in which she does so resembles one of those "Psychic Talk" lines they advertise on television, or a discussion by a self-help group of reincarnationists. If you want a "how-to" paint-by-numbers book on reincarnation and spirituality, then this book is for you. If you're looking for an in-depth delving into the nature of reincarnation and individual spirituality, then please look elsewhere.

If you ever wonder why you fear things, don't like certain people or where birthmarks come from, this book on reincarnation will answer these questions and spark your interest. Author Gloria Chadwick offers an in depth look at past lives and ways to remember them. In order to keep the book interesting, Chadwick fills each chapter with real stories about people who have actually remembered their past lives as well as explanations to questions today's scientists have not answered. Though many people see a hypnotist to experience past life therapy, Chadwick teaches how one can achieve this on their own, in the comfort and privacy of their own home. For believers or non, this book will surely be an interesting read for both the information and the entertainment it offers.

This book has been so powerful at making sense of what I was already thinking and feeling. I found the way she explaned things such as why we are here and to let life happen has put my life in a perspective with such harmony and joy that now I enjoy my life as an adventure more than ever. It helps to have direct exercises to open our spirit to become more in tune with why we are learning the lessons that are in our life now. I have shared many of the views from this book with my friends and they are feeling the same release of pressure to just do what society says and instead to listen to our inner voice. We know so much more than we give ourself credit for! My favorite part was about the three types of soul mates! I continue to read this book daily!I recommend it to everyone that enjoys learning more about who they are in this lifetime.

I couldn't put it down and finished it in less than two days. I continue to read it and try her exercises. Since purchasing it, I have learned that it is recommended by several new age believers. Though I haven't gotten far in my discoveries, I take her advice and remain patient. Day by day, I understand more and more and come ever closer to further enlightenment.

Gloria Chadwick undeniably offers an interesting perspective on how the average reader could approach the concept of reincarnation. Calling it the "best book..." is obviously giving it much more credit than it deserves. This subtitle aptly refers to the way Ms. Chadwick talks down to the reader. There is no alternative in her opinion, the way she thinks reincarnation works is the only way, as if she has been there herself and back. If you want to be lectured to, give this book a try. It's informative, but I've seen better.

This was an interesting book that really fired the curiousity about learning about your past lives but the author never really explains what things mean. For example, there is a whole chapter of questions regarding things you like, things you don't like, and why but no explanation as to what your answers might mean. A few examples along the way might have been helpful. There were examples of other things so as to explain a concept but no real help for the reader to understand their own answers to the questions. I do wish I had time to do the exercises she presents -- perhaps I'd find the answers to my questions?

She put meaning and reason behind all that I thought. She gave excellent excersises to do,and so much more. She answered questions in a down- to earth manner, and I really enjoyed the book.
