From Amazon:

Brennan's Reincarnation Workbook is a presentation of a wide range of information in a quick reading and short format. A good introduction to the concept and various techniques of investigation for the devotee.

Brennan presents some verified examples of past-life regression and experiences, and then heads into techniques on how to bring about the memory or experience of a past life in one self or in others. This is done through not only hypnotism and past-life regression, but also through nonhypnotic Christos technique, and less reliable practices such as through a Ouija board or through the use of a planchette (to induce automatic writing).

Brennan to his credit directly addresses one of the major problems with past-life experiences, i.e. verification. Not everyone can be Cleopatra reborn; in fact, almost nobody can be. He presents ideas on how to check on reported experiences and data, as well as a now-out-of-date computer program to adjust for the Julian calendar for older reported dates and days.

Finally, there is a discussion of, let us say, what can go wrong, and there are quite a number of personality glitches and problems that could and have developed as a direct result of past-life investigation, including nervous breakdowns, obsession, marital problems, reliving past trauma, etc.
