    Many Lives, Many Masters: The True Story of a Psychiatrist, His Young Patient, and Past-Life Therapy by Brian L. Weiss - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan 
    (Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book.) 
     The story about how a skeptical doctor discovered evidence on past lives and developed a method using them to cure his patients. 
    There are many stories about how a skeptic turns into a believer but this one stands out. A skeptical doctor was astonished when he discovered one of his patients recalling past-life traumas. Those wounds from the past seem to be responsible of his recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. Doctor Weiss manages to channel his new knowledge and develop a method called "past life regression" which recovers memories of incarnations in order to address them and cure the patient of his traumas. 
    (Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way) 
    "For truly we are all angels temporarily hiding as humans." - Brian L. Weiss 
    After discovering about past lives, Brian L. Weiss entered a new phase in his career; one that would use memories from the past lives of patients in order to heal them. His method of hypnosis worked so he started heading in a new path in order to help each one of his patients. His work in parapsychology is outstanding and his method of past life regressions is brilliant. Definitely a book worth reading. 
    A skeptic doctor discovered evidence that baffled him and change his mind about reincarnation.
