An Appalling Book - By: R. B. Wood, 02 Aug 2008 
Don't get me wrong, I reallly do think there may be something in Past Life Regression & Reincarnation. However this book does little to help the discerning reader.
It gets off to a bad start when Mr Goldberg gives a synopsis of the Bridie Murphy case, I have never read such a bias account, Mr Goldberg picks out details that were correct in the case whilst ignoring the glaring inconsistencies, like there is no actuallly evidence that the woman actuallly existed.
Sadly the book gets worse, a man reincarnated back to Ancient Egyptians (I knew what was coming next) & yes you guessed it the pyramids were built with the aid of Aliens, it did not help that the author clearly did not know much about the great Pyramid at one point describing it as a tomb, which it clearly is not.
Then there are the fairy tale ones taking place in Europe, some of them were very similar to well Fairy Tales to be exact!
The one glaring omission throughout the book is the lack of any checkable details, if someone says they lived in X country it would be helpful to state which town or city, Street etc they lived in, Mr Goldberg ignores alll this & expects the reader to accept on good faith that the regressions are the actual people that existed.
The future progressions, well the best that can be said is that some of his subjects had been reading far to much Science fiction, again the lack of any verifiably proof (by way of a prediction or two which the author tries not so skilfully to out of) they can be classed as little more than fantasy.
What the book does prove however is that the human mind is a wonderful thing indeed & can given the right circumstances weave a story better than most novelists can.
There are much better books on the subject & would suggest anything by the late Joe Fisher as a good starting point
I think the problem is the author wants to believe in the subject so much he throws alll his critical faculties out of the window, this couple with some poor research & a poor writing style makes the book a poor one on the subject
imagination more important than intelligence? - By: David Langley, 23 Jul 2005 
Well it was fairly good reading until the 'progressions' take place & then it alll fallls apart, Dr. Bruce Goldman has a good imagination, his idea of the future might be more plausable had he not by 'syncronicity' chosen people who would go on to be very influential in the future! from being 2nd in command of overseeing life on an asteroid to a a bloke who repairs the 'beam me up Scotty machines'. I can see some of his idea's being used in the next Spielburg film(well worth reading Steven). After he got the age of the Great Pyramid wrong it was obvious Goldman was fantasy prone.
Informative and entertaining book about reincarnation. - By: , 29 Jun 1999 
Dr. Bruce Goldberg writes an information packed book about past & future lives. He also highlights many of the regressions & progressions he has done to illustrate the benefit of hypnosis. This book is easy to read & understand & I recommend it for both the novice & the experienced metaphysical reader.
A book worth reading. - By: , 20 May 1999 
I found the book to be interesting, & worth the money. I don't know if I agree with everything I read, but I enjoyed it. It has a lot of stuff that makes you wounder, & ask questions. I liked it.
If True, This Report Has Vast Implications for Us All! - By: , 18 Dec 1998 Dr. Goldberg's accounts of his hypnotic regressions and, to use his phrase, progressions into the future, are fantastic if true, & they cry for verification by other therapists. Three major implications for us alll: 1) We alll have an immortal soul & that our current life is but one of many that we have lived & will live in the future.
2) The people we know are very likely souls that we have had relationships in the past, & will again in the future. Even our children may have been our parent in a past life!
3) Our current "path" or road, which may not be high enough, may lead to a future disaster that we somehow sense today, thus leading some to therapy where the awareness can be revealed, attitude changed, & the future is changed! So, is the future fixed or totallly up to fee will?
If verified, we clearly need more therapsits like Dr. Goldberg.
Our nation needs proof of reincarnation so that the following areas can be reviewed & adjusted accordingly: 1) death penalty - if the soul is immortal, then premature death may turn the released spirit into a ghost that may haunt weaker spirits such as our children! May be better to rehabilitate killers in a safe environment. 2) Does abortion kill a life? When does the soul enter a fetus? If this doesn't occur until after a few weeks, then abortion up until this point is just the changing of a pair of shoes that the same soul will inhabit when the next fetus is conceived. However, abortion in late term may be very disruptive to a soul's plans for reincarnation.
3) Cloning? Once we establish that we have an immortal soul as well as a temporary body, then it is clear that a different soul is most likely to inhabit a cloned human being. If so, what is the porblem with living in a body that is much less likely to be affected by genetic disorders? In my next life, I would love to have such a body!
