Live, Die, Repeat - by Rande Brown (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In Live, Die, Repeat, Rande Brown interweaves Eastern reincarnation and Western psychology in a raw, mind-bending memoir that cracks open the soul's journey across lifetimes, and explores what it really takes to heal.

What if the key to healing your deepest wounds lies not just in your past--but in your past lives?

In Live, Die, Repeat, psychoanalyst, Buddhist practitioner, and spiritual adventurer Rande Brown shares her astonishing firsthand recall of three previous lifetimes--and how those vivid experiences transformed her understanding of karma, trauma, and emotional healing. With a rare mix of insight, irreverence, and psychological depth, Brown fuses Eastern wisdom with Western therapeutic tools to reveal a new, radically integrative model of transformation.

Far from abstract philosophy, this is a gripping personal journey--part spiritual memoir, part psychoanalytic adventure story--that challenges our assumptions about identity, memory, and the soul's journey through time.

Whether you're a seeker, a skeptic, or simply curious about the forces that shape your life, Live, Die, Repeat offers a compelling roadmap for tapping into the unseen threads of consciousness, and unlocking the healing potential hidden in your own story.

--Barbara Biziou "Spiritual Alignment Coach and Global Ritual Expert, Author of The Joy of Ritual"

One of the first women to graduate from Princeton, trained in psychotherapy, in Zen, in social work, and in chaplaincy, Rande Brown has lived a remarkable life of searching and of service. Knowing all this, however, did not prepare me for the mind-changing insights, moving spiritual drama, and pathway to healing that is Live Die Repeat. Rande put everything she is into this book, and it is as unforgettable as the woman herself.
