Flipside : A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife
What happens after we die?
Author and award winning filmmaker Richard Martini explores startling new evidence for life after death, via the "life between lives," where we reportedly return to find our loved ones, soul mates and spiritual teachers. Based on the evidence of thousands of people who claim that under deep hypnosis, they saw and experienced the same basic things about the Afterlife, the book interviews hypnotherapists around the world trained in the method pioneered by Dr. Michael Newton, as well as examining actual between life sessions. The author agrees to go on the same journey himself, with startling and candid results, learning we are fully conscious between our various incarnations, and return to connect with loved ones and spiritual soul mates, and together choose how and when and with whom we'll reincarnate. The author examines how "Karmic law" is trumped by "Free will," with souls choosing difficult lives in order to learn from their spiritually; no matter how difficult, strange or complex a life choice appears to be, it was made in advance, consciously, with the help of loved ones, soul mates and wise elders. Extensively researched, breathtaking in scope, "Flipside" takes the reader into new territory, boldly going where no author has gone before to tie up the various disciplines of past life regression. near death experiences, and between life exploration. In the words of author Gary Schwartz, Phd, once you've read "Flipside" "you'll never see the world in the same way again."

Great book! Some amazing stories and comedy too!
Thank you Richard for your book. It made me laugh and shed a tear once in awhile. I was born, raised, and educated about 45 min. NE of Santa Monica. I also met some of the Hollywood crowd during my life and attended a couple of their parties. I have had some bizarre things happen to me also so I understand that strange things happen, and meet people who you are sure that you have known before this life. Thank you for the review of the facts at the end of the book! I have read Michael Newton, Brian Weiss, Kenneth Ring, Raymond Moody, and others, so I know that the concepts you have talked about are real. Plus I had an NDE back in 2002 and just found out what it was in 2019! Thank you so much!

Interesting book.
It took me a long time to read this. There was a lot of information to read. I am more of a believer in reincarnation. He emphasized that we are here on a journey. The book did kind of weird in Chapter 18. I didn't know what to think about the contents in here. Otherwise, it was a good book.

Eye Opening
I've been searching for the meaning of life on this planet as many have. This work of love by Richard has opened my eyes to a whole explanation of why we are here. So simple that it rings true. I really liked how he wrote for easy reading and gave recommendations for other works to read.

I loved this book and have recommended it to others several times. Dealing with what happens after death, between lives, and also dealing with trauma that carries over from one life to another. Anything else I add would be a spoiler. Highly recommended to anyone who believes or wants to believe in reincarnation.

Soul Food!
Martini weaves his own experience of LBL regression as well as his humor and biographical details into a must-read mind expanding spiritual handbook for the seekers of Truth. Highly recommended.

Excellent overview of our life journey, the next steps as we transcend and life between life
Beautifully written book that shares a number of journeys, and a summary of what we can expect as we move between lives and understand our purpose in this life.

Enjoyed the reincarnation content except for all the Hollywood name-dropping. It doesn’t add any authenticity and was annoying to me.

A great read!!
One of those books you'll read more than once.
It answers the big questions! Also encourages you to ask your own questions.
