Writing a book such as this is truly a team effort. Twenty-six Michael Newton Institute members and sixty-two of their clients made contributions, aided by the expert staff of our publisher, Llewellyn Worldwide. We want to give a special thank you to Angela Wix, who shepherded us through the process, and to Annie Burdick, who added the polish to our work. We are especially grateful to our clients who have generously volunteered to share their stories in these pages, so that the wisdom from their Life Between Lives sessions concerning common life problems is made available to us all.
