January 8, 2026Life According to the Soul explains that human life is guided by an immortal soul connected to the body. David Allen uses hypnotic testimonies to show that birth, past lives, death, and reincarnation are chosen experiences to grow awareness and compassion. He argues that suffering occurs when the mind ignores the soul. Events like trauma and identity are seen as lessons. Death is described as a transition to a spiritual realm where learning continues. The book combines philosophical ideas with proof of consciousness beyond life.
Review of advance copy
I received a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review:
“How did I get here? Why am I who I am? Whyis life so difficult? If one incarnates again and again, how is the next life decided? It’s an area of great interest.” (p.209)
I was skeptical when I first picked up this book, but at the same time, I was intrigued. Sometimes when I watch a movie, or read a book, I feel so connected to the experiences I am reading/watching, and I have entertained the thought of reincarnation on more than one occasion. Nowhere in the Bible does it mention this possibility though, so I usually rationalize that it is impossible, but still….this book was interesting.
The mention of the “library” made me think about the fictional book by Matt Haig where the main character, Nora Seed, is filled with regret and finds herself in a magical library between life and death, where she can explore infinite alternate lives she could have lived by choosing different paths. I did enjoy that book, so maybe this is why I allowed myself to stay open minded while reading.
Some interviews seemed unbelievable, but I kept reading, because despite my doubt, I still found it fascinating. These are interviews with clients under hypnosis. They recall memories from a past life. They also experience life within the fetus and having a choice to stay with that body or leave.. The intention of the book, according to the author himself, is to “show a broader aspect of our existence so that we can come to terms with our own life and inner beliefs”. I personally believe in one God, and that everything in the Bible is true. However, I also believe there is more to the story, and we won't know everything until we meet our Maker. I know very little about hypnosis, but the fact that these people were not connected with one another and yet the similarities between their stories was mind-boggling. I could not help but add in my own feelings of heaven, and how the 12 in a tribe could coincide with the 12 apostles (minus Judas, but including Mathias), but the names did not match up by the patients. That did not stop me from making correlations though.
Another quote that I gravitated towards was the following:
“One might wonder if those who feel they’re in the wrong body are reacting to their soul’s
preference, unaware that they must live the life as chosen or repeat it in the future.”
I had wondered that exact same thing, prior to reading this quote in the epilogue.
I could not give this book a poor rating, because it has value to people interested in this subject matter. Plus, I cannot deny, it was interesting throughout. I just had so many questions as I continued to read. Books that make you think and wonder are not always easy reads, but they are worth the time.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Life According to the Soul reads like a reflective guide to living with more awareness and inner alignment. Instead of preaching, it gently explores purpose, intuition, emotional healing, and the idea that life’s struggles are part of a deeper spiritual unfolding. The writing feels calm and contemplative, encouraging pauses rather than urgency. It’s the kind of book you read slowly, underlining passages that resonate, especially if you’re drawn to self-discovery and soul-centered growth.
