    About this audiobook

    This popular examination of research into children's reports of past-life memories describes a collection of 2,500 cases at the University of Virginia that investigators have carefully studied since Dr. Ian Stevenson began the work more than forty years ago. The children usually begin talking about a past life at the age of two or three and may talk about a previous family or the way they died in a previous life. Their statements have often been found to be accurate for one particular deceased individual, and some children have recognized members of the previous family. A number have also had birthmarks or defects that matched wounds on the body of the deceased person.

    Life Before Life presents the cases in a straightforward way and explores the possibility that consciousness may continue after the brain dies. It is a provocative and fascinating book that can challenge and ultimately change listeners' understanding about life and death.

      I couldn't buy author Dr. Jim B. Tucker's thinly disguised efforts to validate the collection of 2,500 cases of children's memories of previous lives he and other investigators studied at the University of Virginia. Some of the cases child psychiatrist Dr. Tucker review appear to support the possibility that a consciousness may have had an earlier existence in a human body. However, the too easily dismissed reality that humans lie, forget or coincidental events occur, strain the credibility of Dr. Tucker's Life Before Life. The fact that only a handful of the cases occurred in North America or other First World countries further encouraged me to doubt. Is reincarnation a possibility? Perhaps, but Life Before Life is merely speculative evidence at best.
    • 3/5
      This was an interesting book. I wish there had been more case evidence and less...manipulation of facts. Jim Tucker tries very hard to get you to believe that he's being entirely objective with his analysis of the case studies. He's not. I enjoyed this book very much, but it could have been so much more. Enjoyable, but ultimately disappointing.
