Rating: - A great beginner's course in karma and choices
I originally bought and read this book in the mid-1990s, after the first printing. It opened up my mind so much that I have to say it changed my life. I immediately lent it to a friend who was having similar difficulties in her life, and I have not seen the book since. I bought another copy now that the new edition is out, and in the seven or eight years it has been since the first reading I have studied similar ideas extensively; the book is still good but not as deep as I originally thought it was.

If you are searching for answers beyond those given by every well-meaning parishoner for the last 200 years, this is definitely the book I would say to start with. If you are curious about western ideas of karma but are tired of cracker-jack box explanations, this is a great next read. If you have a good working knowledge of metaphysical-type stuff published in the last 5 years or so, this book will not seem so life-altering, but still well-stated.

Rating: - Growing towards the light
This book is NOT for everyone. That is not to say that it shouldn't be. Simply put, you have to be at a point in your life where spirtually you are ready to grow, to give up the trappings of society and the idea that anyone or anything you can buy will ever truly make you happy. If you are at this stage everything in this book will be like a drink of water to a man dying of thirst. If you are not at this point in your life, this book will seem to be a confused, new-aged, new-wave unpractical way of thinking. Robin Norwood is a brilliant writer and she has achieved so much in her life. It is a pleasure to read anything she's written.

Rating: - Unconvincing
New Age religious beliefs (like multiple past lives and the idea that souls choose their parents before birth) form the foundation for this book. Yet the author makes little effort to explain these concepts or to provide evidence that could convince the reader. If you do not understand and believe in these ideas before reading this book you probably will not get much out of it. I know I did not. Putting aside the issue of prior beliefs, the author's arguments were not always well supported and sometimes appeared speculative.

Rating: - Fascinating book - it changed my life.
I have read numerous 'New Age' books (some hokey, some helpful) and I must say this was the best. Robin Norwood's knowledge and wisdom radaite from the pages! The case histories are quite rich and make the book a real page-turner. It helped me understand how my life's events fit into a bigger picture and resolved the nagging question, "Why did this happen to me?".

Rating: - To believe or not to believe; that is the question!
This is a compelling book for one who has shied away from psychic phenomena throughout life. My grandfather was a medium. Using his abilities strictly as "entertainment" for small groups, he began experiencing frightening episodes after each time he performed his craft. Eventually he abandoned the practice altogether. Convinced it was "Satan's" work, he vowed not to delve further into such things and forbad his children to do so. Norwood, however, introduces a whole new aspect of psychic ability and reincarnation possibilities that intrigues (yet, because of my background, repulses) me. She matter of factly presents examples and personal insights that seem logical but also raises some unanswered questions re: God, the soul, the spirit and the differences between them. Her book, however, is one of the easiest to understand explanations of why we experience certain problems in life I've read--yet how can we know for certain? But in fairness, how can we know that any explanation of the purpose of life, including basic Christianity, is the real answer? I applaud Robin Norwood's efforts to provide answers to life's toughest questions and would recommend it to those who have open minds.
