Publisher's Summary

Would you like to understand the deeper spiritual meaning of physical illness, parenting handicapped children, drug addiction, alcoholism, the death of a loved one, accidents, deafness, and blindness?

Your Soul's Plan (which was originally published under the title Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?) explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we are born for the purpose of spiritual growth. Through compelling profiles of people who knowingly planned the experiences mentioned above, Your Soul's Plan shows that suffering is not purposeless, but rather imbued with deep meaning. Working with four gifted mediums, author Robert Schwartz reveals the significance of each person's life plan and allows us a fascinating look into the "other side."

Each personal story focuses on a specific life challenge, organized by type for easy reference. Accessible both to those familiar with the metaphysical aspects of spirituality and to the general listener, the moving narratives that comprise Your Soul's Plan help listeners awaken to the reality that they are transcendent, eternal souls. With this stirring audiobook as a guide, feelings of anger, resentment, guilt, and victimization are healed and transformed into acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace.

Robert Schwartz is also the author of Your Soul's Gift: The Healing Power of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born, which explores the pre-birth planning of spiritual awakening, miscarriage, abortion, caregiving, abusive relationships, sexuality, incest, adoption, poverty, suicide, rape, and mental illness. There's also a chapter about the pre-birth planning we do with our future pets.

Robert Schwartz is a hypnotherapist who offers general Spiritual Guidance Sessions, Past Life Soul Regressions, and Between Lives Soul Regressions.

Narration fail, story success

It's a shame that this book was brought down by the poor narration ability of the author or whomever was chosen to read this. It would've been ten times better with someone who wasn't as mechanical in their delivery. I tried speeding it up, slowing it down, doing everything I could to make it more pleasant, but very little worked. I ended up listening at 1.25 so I could get through it. The content was fascinating, but the delivery was so poor, I was left disappointed.

Life Changing!

This book changed the way I view the wold. It completely shifted my perspective. I no longer see myself as a victim of my circumstance. I have searched and searched for the meaning of life, and my purpose in it. This book is simply phenomenal. I have recommended this book to each and everyone I know, who is struggling with his or her life challenges.
Thank you Robert for helping me see things through a different lens.

Best book I’ve read in a very long time!

This book is a must read for anyone wanting to know why we are really here. Amazing original research into a phenomenon we should all learn about at an early age and then spend the rest of our lives working on our goal without giving up.

Eye opening!

I had heard a little about the concept of each of us planning our life here on earth but this book has brought much understanding to me regarding this.
Shedding light on why things happen and what we have preplanned gives us great understanding to our life’s purposes including all the good and the bad that we experience along the way.
Understanding this certainly creates a shift in our thoughts and our understanding around all that we and others experience in each lifetime we have in a physical body.
It seems that all of our lessons are to bring us to the realization that we are one with God and one with each other and that love is all that matters. Forgiveness is essential for oneness.
Separation is just an illusion that we live in until we remember the truth of who we are!

Good book

Overall liked the book. Good stories and examples. At times was hard to follow it since the narrator did not change pitch to impersonate the characters. Would be better if there were two different narrators

terrible voice!

oh my god the tone of the narrators voice was terrible. however the content was very interesting. Basically I feel that this is a infomercial for his overpriced past life regression services for rich people.

Oustanding book on the meaning of life

If you could sum up Your Soul's Plan in three words, what would they be?

Essential truths & understandings

What other book might you compare Your Soul's Plan to and why?

The Souls Gift by Robert Schwartz
Which provides more wisdom from the spirit works to guide and comfort us. Audibke.com please offer this work in your library as well!!!!

Any additional comments?

this book explains the processes our souls undergo to plan our earthly lives. I once thought past lives was far beyond what I could accept. If you are one of these people do give this work a try. If if dies not appeal to you now DO purchase a hard copy for future.
This book helps greatly to put in perspective why we would choose such difficult lives. It also distinguishes between what in life might be planned as opposed to an unexpected event or an exercise of free will. Information in the book are accounts of channeled readings which include direct questions to help us understand life.
I have read quite a bit in the area of spirituality. I find this book essential, compelling, well done. Wish I had discovered it long ago. I would quickly buy any future books by this author Robert Schwartz

A life-chaning platform of understanding

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have already recommended it to friends and that was before I was even into the 3rd chapter. This book has allowed me an understanding of life events that are not punishment from God, nor are they "negative" things occurring in our lives as we perceive them to be. Everything is an opportunity for even greater soul growth and expansion of consciousness. This book has changed my life in the best way possible. Almost immediately after typing this first part of the review but before finishing I took a nasty spill off my horse, and three days ago I would have been a mess. Now I get it. And not only do I get it, but I know how to best utilize what comes my way to enhance my own soul growth. Just the new understanding changed the way I see everything in this life. I'm a survivor of Columbine, too, and I have so many friends who would benefit greatly from this material if they were able to take it to heart. Sometimes they just aren't ready when we wish they would be, but the material is nonetheless here and available and it is so valuable. I thank the author for taking his time to make this work come together as he did. Fantastic job he did!

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite story is Kristina's, the young lady who was inured by a time bomb put into the mailbox of a professor for whom she was working on a college campus. It is a powerful story and very poignant indeed. She seems to be an incredibly wise individual and I wish that I would be able to meet her some day. Very much a story of dauntless strength.

Which scene was your favorite?

The story about Doris was also extremely moving. I am going to have something called Soul Retrieval done and I very much hope that my mentor and channel will talk about some of these things as she does the work. Doris' story was my favorite because it was an example of someone who has done so many things right, and she lead a healthy life that would have given her a leg up as far as avoiding serious illness, but the reason we bring illness into our lives is so much deeper than the fact that we might love McDonald's and sugar in our diet, or the feel of the sun on our skin. What we think we know to be the causes of these things is not entirely so, if at all. Doris' story was moving and touching and relatable. Her lessons I believe are similar to my own.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me laugh and cry, but tears of joy, to be honest. It hit home on so many levels I am not sure there is enough room here for me to elaborate completely. Let's just say that the timeliness of my introduction to the material is in no way a coincidence.

Any additional comments?

I am so grateful for this material. I really am. It changed my life for the better in so many different ways. I feel like my outlook and my perspective have done a 180, and I am prepared to move forward from here on. I am excited to continue to grow and advance, no matter what I have planned in my future. Looking forward to the "good, the bad and the ugly," because it is ALL valuable.
