Old Souls: The Scientific Evidence for Past Lives by Tom Shroder. © 1999. Simon & Schuster. ISBN 0-64-85192-X.
Reporter Tom Shroder began his exploration into past lives by wanting to write a story about Dr. Brian Weiss and his work in past life regression.
During his research on Weiss, Shroder came across an article on Dr. Ian Stevenson (died 2/08/07); interested in Stevenson’s work, Shroder turned his attention to him.
Dr. Stevenson traveled extensively to interview children claiming past life memories. Stevenson would then research the memories – either validating the claims or disproving them.
Old Souls is the journey Shroder literally took with Stevenson on some of Stevenson’s research trips; what he experienced and witnessed while he followed Stevenson. They interviewed children and adults in Beruit, India and the US.
Shroder began this journey very much the skeptic as far as past life memories. At the end of this book, Shroder’s skepticism was not so prominent.
I really enjoyed Shroder’s book – and was fascinated at the scientific approach Dr. Stevenson took working to prove/disprove the past life memories.
I highly recommend this book.
