Synopsis

The concept of reincarnation has been around for thousands of years and is a part of many religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. In addition to these religious beliefs, many people believe it offers an explanation for the mysteries of life. There are children that claim to remember previous lives as adults or even animals. These claimed memories might affect the development of the child and be incorporated into the child's personality. This audiobook presents an in-depth look at Dr. Stevenson's 40 years studying children who claim to remember previous lives. It is an informative, professional listen that dispels common misconceptions about reincarnation and offers an open-minded perspective. It provides an overview of the history of the belief in and evidence for reincarnation, with new material relating to birthmarks and birth defects, independent replication studies, and recent developments in genetic study. It also covers research on children, the methods used, the cases studied, and the analyses of the data. The idea of reincarnation is explored as an explanation for some unsolved problems in psychology and medicine. This brand-new audio edition is expertly narrated by Scott Pollak. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©2001 Ian Stevenson (P)

Dr. Ian Stevenson lived to be 99 and the body of work he left behind reflects that. In his long life he had to courage to do what only great scientists do: he went where the evidence took him regardless of potential consequences to his career. Stevenson required a great deal of personal and professi......more

Goodreads review by Jenna on October 24, 2020

Fascinating and meticulously researched. It deals with more than 2500 cases across cultures to look - not at reincarnation in particular but - at children’s claims of remembrance of past lives. This is a collection and analysis of data and it’s fascinating without being presumptive. I love this kind......more

Goodreads review by no.stache.nietzsche on May 22, 2023

Went into this one with an open mind but very skeptical. Jason Reza Jorjani appeals to Stevenson's studies to support his assertions that he is the reincarnation of Nikola Tesla and such.. Stevenson is clearly accustomed to being confronted with immense opposition to his research, at least in the an......more

Goodreads review by Letitia on February 08, 2025

I started this book really appreciative of Stevenson's commitment to scientific methodology, encouragement of skepticism, and commitment to consistency. This is one of those cases where devil is in the details, however. While his broad synopses had me just convinced that these were verifiable cases......more
