Early Social Science on Past Lives

This was one of the first books I read about past lives. I found it fascinating because I was coming from a very intellectual background. Years ago, after reading it, I went to three of Helen's events, which were held in hotels in the San Francisco Bay Area, and what happened to me there changed my life. I "remembered" or "re-experienced" some very amazing things, and went on to research what I had "remembered." I found historical evidence that what I had "relived" was true! An actual headstone in a graveyard with the name and date of death I'd come up with as mine??? Wow!!! That gave me a new perspective on who I was. Since then, I have gone on to experience many metaphysical situations. I highly recommend this book as an introduction to the concept of reincarnation. She is very scientific in her data-gathering. Now that I "know" reincarnation as a personal truth, I'm not interested in documentation any more, but to a person who is skeptical or unsure, I would highly recommend this book for the research.

Well written, and very interesting

Helen Wambach is a clinical psychologist who investigates past lives through hypnosis. Considering that this subject has been "done to death" (forgive the dreadful pun), Wambach does an excellent job in presenting facts, figures, and case studies in this intriguing book that tries to separate the wheat from the chaff. The book is interesting enough for the layperson to enjoy, but technical enough for the more enlightened to have on their shelves. Wambach obviously believes in reincarnation but she is skeptical enough not to take it on face value. Rather she presents her audience with various case studies that she has undertaken over several years, and the outcome of the consequent follow up research to see if the past lives can be proven in any way. It is a fascinating book that I read from cover to cover. Wambach is not trying to convert the reader, rather she is presenting her case, and in the end it is up to us to believe in reincarnation or not. A good read for anyone who likes to explore the unknown.

Amazing!

This is such an excellent book on one woman's research into reincarnation. Having a scientific interest in this stuff, I had grown tired of the books that simply spouted reincarnation to be true without really examining it. This book uses a large database to draw from, and Helen Wambach is as unbiased as a researcher can be in her point-counterpoint arguments.Although done from a research perspective, it is an interesting and fascinating read that would hold anyone's attention, whether one has a scientific bent or not. One of the best books I've read in 5 years.
