Many Lives, Many Masters is a thought-provoking exploration into past-life regression therapy. Driven by curiosity and a desire to heal his patients, Weiss, a highly respected psychiatrist, shares his remarkable journey through his patients’ lives and the profound impact it had on his understanding of life and spirituality.

Weiss introduces us to Catherine, a young patient suffering from debilitating anxiety and phobias. As traditional therapies failed to yield results, Weiss attempted hypnosis, leading to the astonishing discovery of Catherine's past lives, where she vividly recalls experiences from multiple lifetimes, gradually uncovering the root causes of her present-day struggles and resolving them.

One of the book's most striking aspects is Weiss's ability to blend scientific objectivity with spiritual insights. Initially hesitant to acknowledge the existence of past lives, Weiss evolves from a sceptic into a firm believer in the power of regression therapy. With clarity and empathy, he provides a detailed account of his interactions with Catherine, guiding us through the process in a way that lends credibility and invites readers to open themselves up to the possibility of reincarnation.

Reincarnation may not be proven, but it remains a concept that some find meaningfully explains life's mysteries. I fathom we like the notion of reincarnation because we want a shot at redemption, to think that our soul deserves a second chance even after our organic body passes away (even if we forget any memories associated with our past lives). It reminds me of my favourite K-drama Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, a heartwrenching tale revolving around similar themes. Can reincarnation be a means for the soul to learn and grow by overcoming traits that held us back spiritually in the past?

Weiss also explores broader themes of karma and soul connections, introducing the concept of souls learning and evolving across lifetimes. It is a compelling read that challenges conventional notions of life and death and inspires profound reflection on the nature of our existence.
