About this listen

By all accounts, Thomas Andrews, designer of the ill-fated Titanic, went down with the ship. How, then, could someone else know, not only the vivid and horrific details of what Andrews experienced that tragic night, but also, details of his entire life?

How indeed! Since his youth, William Barnes has been haunted by a recurring nightmare, a huge ship looming overhead, piercing screams, heated arguments, frigid water stabbing his body, and a giant peach-colored mass of steel falling on him. At the age of four, Barnes drew a ship with four smokestacks, talked of his ship that had died, insisted on being called "Tommie", and spoke of brothers and a sister he didn't have. More than simply a child's imagination, these scenes are remnants from another time and place in history, another life!

As an adult, the ongoing nightmares pulled Barnes into a deep depression. Ordered to seek help by his employer, Barnes was referred to psychologist Frank Baranowski, Ph.D., who used regression therapy as a clinical tool and who has conducted thousands of regression sessions.

Baranowski uncovers, within Barnes, the persona of an Irish shipbuilder named Thomas Andrews, who died during one of the most dramatic events of the 20th century and captures one of the most convincing cases of reincarnation ever recorded.

Would you consider the audio edition of My Life and Death to be better than the print version?

When I first began listening, I was not certain I would enjoy this audio book as the storyline appeared so questionable. We have also been bombarded with Titanic stories for years to the point of overload!

Thankfully, however, I persevered and I am so grateful I did. The story presented and, in particular, the interviews afterwards, were so well done, my belief in reincarnation has been irreparably changed. I have been sitting on the fence about this for many years but this story definitely inched me off that fence.

Bill's voice (heard as Tommy's) was so real and believable....the story so plausible. I was entranced throughout.

The wheels are turning.

Off the fence

I decided to give this audiobook a try as an avid history reader and having enjoyed several other books on the Titanic. This was definitely a twist on the tale, as the story uses excerts from hypnotic regression sessions with a man who claims to have been Tommy Andrews, the builder of the Titanic, in a past life. An interesting twist on history, though, overall, not any great literary work. Was a good listen for the commute as I did not lose the story in the short 30 minutes bursts of listening in the car. There is a good message, just listen with an upon mind.

A different viewpoint...

This was an extremely unique viewpoint. The reader, Alden Stevens, did an excellent job of portraying Tommy Andrews perspective through hypnotic regression. This includes the events that led up to, and including, the fateful night when the Titanic sunk. For anyone that believes in the afterlife, this story is believable.

Entertaining

Would you consider the audio edition of My Life and Death to be better than the print version?

No way! I think it was made to be listened to because it is all actual live recordings of William's past life regressions.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely!

WOW! I COULDN'T STOP! IT WAS THAT GOOD!

Would you try another book from William Barnes and Frank Baranowski and/or William Barnes and Frank Baranowski ?

Sure.

Would you recommend My Life and Death to your friends? Why or why not?

I might if they are open minded. It is very interesting. Entertaining at least.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Sure

Could you see My Life and Death being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

There have been so many stories about Titanic. If the movie is true to the book, maybe. But how often does that happen?

Any additional comments?

Keep an open mind. If you don't believe in reincarnation just listen to it as an interesting story.
The message I took from it - when a person misuses power calamity comes -

Cringe Worthy Accent...

Wow, this audiobook was amazing. It was hard not to believe it, but even if it was fiction, it was extremely well done. I am a history buff, and at the moment I am particularly interested in the Titanic (building, facts, ect.). The one problem I found, was not knowing what to believe. There are some very interesting details which, if true, could provide great insight into the disaster. Overall, it was a great listen, and it did alert me to some very insightful facts which I confirmed later on.

Wow

This is the biography of Thomas Andrews' life story based upon the hypnosis sessions of the American author who was Thomas Andrews in a past life. It was very interesting to hear and terribly sad because we all know what happens in the end. The narrator does a wonderful job. I would have loved more background on the author and his life. It is touched upon briefly in the beginning about his fears of ice and other issues which led him to hypnosis. Also if anyone has tried to confirm any of this. Perhaps in a later book? At the end they tell you how you can order a copy of all the hypnosis sessions.

Interesting
