An exciting fusion of mysticism and psychiatry
This book connects psychiatry with mysticism, the search for truth with the existence of eternal life. It reads like a gripping novel and is so captivating that I just couldn't put it down.

Innovative and highly effective treatment
This somewhat provocative and beautifully written book transcends conventional psychotherapy books and presents an innovative and highly effective treatment. This book is a must read for anyone in psychiatry.

Does our life depend on past incarnations?
An interesting, well-written book that makes you wonder how much our current life can depend on past incarnations. You cannot put this book down without feeling solidarity with Dr. Weiss' conclusions.
Andrew I. Slaby, MD, Chief Physician at Fair Oaks Hospital
Reading - Definitely!
A touching story about a man who is experiencing an unexpected spiritual awakening. This courageous book opened the way for an alliance between science and metaphysics. Must read to find your soul.
Jeanne Avery, writer
A gripping case history that proves the effectiveness of past incarnation psychotherapy. The book will be a real discovery for many who doubt the possibility of reincarnation.

For everyone who's having a hard time
Read this book! It is absolutely clear that five stars are not enough to give this book a fair rating. This book completely changed my views on the most important things in this life - with all my desire, I simply cannot do it justice. This is one of those books that I keep in multiple copies just in case to give it to someone who is having a hard time right now, especially those who have experienced the death of a loved one or are close to someone who is about to die. There is nothing more effective in counseling and working with grief, all the fiction on this topic just was not around. Read it, even if everything is fine in your life, believe me, everything will become even better! Throw away all self-help books and buy multiple copies of this book.

Still don't believe in reincarnation?
This is just an amazing book! All my life I have been an atheist, despite (or because?) that I studied first in a Jewish school, and then in a Christian one. In my senior year of college, I decided to take a lecture on Buddhism and I was instantly drawn into the philosophy. But while studying Buddhism, I ran into a blank wall: I could not force myself to believe and accept one of the basic concepts in Buddhism - the idea of reincarnation. I was a supporter of the theory "you die - and that's it." For years, no one and nothing could move me from this point of view even for a while - until last week, when I started reading this book. In less than 24 hours, my point of view - a complete disbelief in reincarnation - has changed to exactly the opposite: now I am completely convinced that reincarnations are true.

Foreword
I am fully convinced that nothing happens without a reason. Perhaps the very moment something happens, we have no idea why. However, over time and with due patience, the reasons become completely clear to us.
So it was with Katherine. We first met in 1980 when she was twenty-seven years old. She came to my office complaining of panic attacks, phobias and anxiety. Despite the fact that she had all these symptoms since childhood, during the last time she became worse. She felt like her emotions were paralyzed. Every day she was getting worse, and there was no strength to do anything. She was horrified and understandably depressed.
My life at that time, unlike hers, flowed measuredly and calmly. My marriage was strong, we had two small children, and my career was on the rise. From the very beginning it seemed that my life was on a smooth track. I grew up in a loving family. Success in scientific affairs came easily to me, and in my second year I decided to become a psychiatrist. I graduated from Columbia University in New York in 1966 with a Pi Beta Kappa degree with honors. I then entered the Yale University School of Medicine and received my MD in 1970. After an internship at NYU Bellevue Medical Center, I returned to Yale to complete my education in psychiatry. After that, I got a teaching position at the University of Pittsburgh. And two years later he began working in Miami and headed the department of psychopharmacology. There I received universal recognition in the fields of biological psychiatry and narcology. After four years at the university, I was promoted to the post of associate professor of psychiatry at the medical school, and also appointed to the position of head of the psychiatric department of a large hospital owned by the University of Miami. By that time I had over thirty-seven publications in psychiatry.
Years of diligent study taught me to think like a scientist and physiologist, thus forcing me to follow the narrow path of conservatism in my profession. I didn't believe anything that couldn't be proven by conventional scientific methods. I knew about some of the research in parapsychology that was going on at the best universities in the country, but it did not attract my attention. All this seemed to me from the realm of the unattainable.
And then I met Katherine. For eighteen months I used basic psychotherapy to help her cope with her illness. When I realized that everything was useless, I decided to resort to hypnosis. Being in a trance state for several sessions, she remembered some events from "past lives", which turned out to be the key to her recovery. She became something of a conductor of information from the "higher realms" and with their help revealed some of the secrets of life and death. In just a few months, her symptoms disappeared, and the girl began to live a full life again, much happier than before. I was not ready for this and was shocked by everything that happened.
I have no scientific explanation for everything that happened. Apparently, too many factors of human consciousness remain beyond our understanding. Perhaps during hypnosis, Katherine was able to focus on that part of the subconscious that stored real memories from a past life, or perhaps she penetrated into what Carl Jung called the "collective unconscious" - the source of energy that surrounds us and contains the memories of the entire human race.
Scientists are just beginning to look for answers to these questions. But it is already clear today that society will gain a lot from the study of the phenomena of consciousness, the soul, life after death and the influence of experience from past lives on our behavior in the present. Obviously, deviations from the norm are allowed within very narrow limits, especially in the fields of medicine, psychiatry, theology and philosophy. Scientifically sound research in this area is in its infancy. And despite the fact that certain steps are being taken to obtain the necessary information, however, everything is happening very slowly and, moreover, meets the resistance of scientists and a number of people of a conservative persuasion.

Throughout human history, people have always resisted new ideas. So many examples. When Galileo discovered the existence of the satellites of Jupiter, the astronomers of that era refused to believe it and did not even want to look at these satellites, because the recognition of the latter went against what was considered correct. The same thing is happening now with psychiatrists and other medical professionals who refuse to take into account the evidence of life after death and reject the possibility of studying memories from past lives. They just turn a blind eye to it.

About the book “We do not die, but are born again! Evidence of Reincarnation by a Renowned Psychiatrist and Documented by Brian Weiss
Much debate is still going on about what awaits us after death. Some believe that beyond the line there will be an eternal happy life, others - emptiness and darkness, and still others - a new life on Earth. Scientists cannot give an exact answer to this question and cannot even conduct experiments that can reveal this eternal secret. However, a practicing psychotherapist managed to get closer to the solution.
Brian Weiss works at Miami Medical Center in the Department of Psychiatry. He treats with hypnosis. As a result of one session, the woman began to tell amazing things, which became the basis for starting new experiments and writing a book called “We do not die, but are born again! Evidence of reincarnation made by a famous psychiatrist and documented."
Patient Brian Weiss suffered from panic attacks and the usual methods of treatment did not help her. Then the psychotherapist decided to resort to hypnosis. As a result, the girl remembered the amazing things that happened to her in past lives. It was this information that helped her get rid of problems in real life.
Author of the book “We do not die, but are born again! Evidence of Reincarnation by a Renowned Psychiatrist and Documented” holds that the problems and difficulties we face in our daily lives are directly related to what happened in past lives. Moreover, all this information is stored in our subconscious and it is possible to “get it” from there.
Brian Weiss also explains why many scientists and doctors do not accept the idea that there is life after death. Previously, when scientists believed that our planet was flat, but Galileo declared that it was round and spinning, he was almost burned at the stake. That is, if the information contradicted already established knowledge, then it was considered a lie and was not accepted. The same thing is happening today. After all, there is no evidence of what awaits us after death, which means that it is also not worth considering it not true that we will return to Earth and live a new life.
The book by Brian Weiss contains many stories from the practice of a psychotherapist, proving that this world is not so simple as we used to think. Mysticism and science - this is how you can describe what the author was able to get to.
Mysticism has always attracted people and will attract with its mystery and hopeless closeness. It is not known when scientists will be able to answer questions about what awaits us after death with confidence. However, if you are interested in this topic, then you should read this book. In addition, she has already managed to make many people change their attitude to many opinions and assumptions.
The book “We do not die, but are born again! Evidence of reincarnation made by a famous psychiatrist and documented” will appeal to everyone who is interested in mysticism and questions about what will happen to us after we leave this world. This is an amazing work by Brian Weiss, like a fairy tale, which is very difficult to believe, except for the fact that it was written by a psychotherapist with extensive experience, knowledge and reputation as a serious and successful doctor.

Foreword
I am fully convinced that nothing happens without a reason. Perhaps the very moment something happens, we have no idea why. However, over time and with due patience, the reasons become completely clear to us.
So it was with Katherine. We first met in 1980 when she was twenty-seven years old. She came to my office complaining of panic attacks, phobias and anxiety. Despite the fact that she had all these symptoms since childhood, during the last time she became worse. She felt like her emotions were paralyzed. Every day she was getting worse, and there was no strength to do anything. She was horrified and understandably depressed.
My life at that time, unlike hers, flowed measuredly and calmly. My marriage was strong, we had two small children, and my career was on the rise. From the very beginning it seemed that my life was on a smooth track. I grew up in a loving family. Success in scientific affairs came easily to me, and in my second year I decided to become a psychiatrist. I graduated from Columbia University in New York in 1966 with a Pi Beta Kappa degree with honors. I then entered the Yale University School of Medicine and received my MD in 1970. After an internship at NYU Bellevue Medical Center, I returned to Yale to complete my education in psychiatry. After that, I got a teaching position at the University of Pittsburgh. And two years later he began working in Miami and headed the department of psychopharmacology. There I received universal recognition in the fields of biological psychiatry and narcology. After four years at the university, I was promoted to the post of associate professor of psychiatry at the medical school, and also appointed to the position of head of the psychiatric department of a large hospital owned by the University of Miami. By that time I had over thirty-seven publications in psychiatry.
Years of diligent study taught me to think like a scientist and physiologist, thus forcing me to follow the narrow path of conservatism in my profession. I didn't believe anything that couldn't be proven by conventional scientific methods. I knew about some of the research in parapsychology that was going on at the best universities in the country, but it did not attract my attention. All this seemed to me from the realm of the unattainable.
And then I met Katherine. For eighteen months I used basic psychotherapy to help her cope with her illness. When I realized that everything was useless, I decided to resort to hypnosis. Being in a trance state for several sessions, she remembered some events from "past lives", which turned out to be the key to her recovery. She became something of a conductor of information from the "higher realms" and with their help revealed some of the secrets of life and death. In just a few months, her symptoms disappeared, and the girl began to live a full life again, much happier than before. I was not ready for this and was shocked by everything that happened.
