Life Before Life is a book written by psychiatrist Dr. Jim Tucker, which is a very readable overview of more than 40 years of research at the University of Virginia Division of Personality Studies into past life recall by children. The foreword to the book is written by Professor Dr. Ian Stevenson. The book discusses:
- British twins whose birthmarks and behavior closely resembled that of their deceased older sisters.
- A boy from Africa who knows the names and personal details of people from another village, without having ever been there.
- An American boy who believes he is the reincarnation of his own grandfather.
- A child who dies of a gunshot in a previous life and carries a birthmark of the same size, shape and placement in this life.
- The book also discusses objections to reincarnation: the paucity of persons who actually claim to remember a past life, the fragility of memories, the population explosion, the mind-body problem, fraud, and others.
