4.6 out of 5 stars 879 ratings
Your Soul's Plan explores the provocative 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 experiences such as AIDS and cancer, parenting children with disabilities, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents, this book shows that suffering is not purposeless, but imbued with deep meaning. Working with four of the country's most gifted mediums, author Robert Schwartz reveals the significance of each individual's soul 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 reader, the moving narratives that comprise Your Soul's Plan help readers awaken to the reality that they are transcendent, eternal souls. With this stirring book as a guide, feelings of anger, resentment, guilt, and victimization are healed and replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, peace, and gratitude.

--New Consciousness Review
"Your Soul's Plan is highly recommended to anyone trying to understand the suffering, tragedy or loss that has caused them to question life, death and/or God. And who among us is not inflicted by such challenges and questions in our lifetime? In my eight years researching life after death, spirituality and life purpose, I have discovered no better explanation of why human challenges exist than what is so eloquently written in Robert Schwartz's book."
--Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com Editor
"The serene cover of Your Soul's Plan belies the punch with which Robert Schwartz communicates the results of his research into pre-birth planning . . . Overall, it is one of the best books of this kind I have come across."
--Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer magazine
About the Author
In a personal session with a medium in 2003, author Robert Schwartz was astonished to speak with nonphysical beings who knew everything about him-not just what he had done in life, but also what he had thought and felt. They told him that he had planned many of his most difficult experiences before he was born. Realizing that a knowledge of pre-birth planning would bring great healing to people and allow them to understand the deeper purpose of their life challenges, he devoted the next three years to studying the pre-birth plans of dozens of individuals. The extraordinary insights that emerged speak to our heartfelt, universal yearning to know . . . why.

I did love the book. Thank you very much Sir for the account of all these lives and their courageous journeys. Thank you very much for all the wisdom that is encapsulated in these pages. It really helps to better understand the world we live in and it helps with raising our inner peace. Thank you very much for that. A few remarks and some questions I have that are left unanswered though:
- Does someone who lives through child abuse or rape choose this experience in every case? If so, why?
- Does someone choose to be born in a poor, unstable and under-developed country? If so, why?
- Has a collective of souls chosen Africa to be this poverty and disease-stricken continent? Is Africa the continent of choice for experiencing the atrocities we know are happening there, and should we be grateful for this? How does one not become mad as he wrestles with the possibility of such an idea?
- The book feels too US-centric. It would have been good to have examples from diverse countries, diverse continents and diverse cultures.
- It would have been good to further explore the difference between a soul choice and a free-will choice. Example: the mistake of the nurse which made one of the characters blind at birth, the boyfriend who kills his partner the mum, they seem to have been acts of 'free-will', which generated an unplanned course of events. It renders the frontier between the planned and the unplanned very blurry. Another book with the exploration and explanation of this would be amazing.
Thanks again.

Robert Schwartz' book 'Your Soul's Plan' in which with the the help of Mediums he communicates with persons souls to discuss how their lives had come to experience great hardships and challenges, is remarkable.
The astonishing outlook they offer is that the souls themselves, in agreement with those of the key participants in their ensuing earth lives, have chosen and agreed to support each other with the difficulties they experience such as blindness, illness and death. In the conrtext of our souls being infinite in nature, the experiences and cost of our brief human lives is not so insurmountable in nature against the lessons they may learn during each life, this view is acceptable if the soul has so chosen.
I feel a great affinity with this book because it empowers the souls who otherwise may appear to be victims blighted by lifes cruelties - Instead they are presented as souls persuing by agreement with their companion souls such as myself the challenges of lifes hardships and death as a method of soul learning to develop greater compassion and love for all beings. ''Earth primarily serves the function of teaching you to let go of fear and (to) love unconditionally'' Spirit Guide as channeled by the Medium Staci Wells.
In such a remarkable universe that we exist within, this view presents a wider outlook of an intrinsically loving Creator who supports us in co-creating our own paths of spiritual evolution.

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.”

This is an amazing book. I know it is going to be too "out there" for many people, but for me it confirms what I have always intuitively known to be true: that we plan many aspects of our lives before we are born, including our parents and significant life events. And no matter how harsh those events might seem, they serve a purpose. This book falls in the category of life changing for me.

Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born by Robert Schwartz (www.yoursoulsplan.com) explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we’re born for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having disabled children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. The information about their pre-birth plans was obtained by four gifted mediums and channels. The book presents the actual conversations people had with their future parents, children, spouses, friends, and other loved ones when they planned their lives together. For readers, suffering that once seemed purposeless becomes imbued with deep meaning. Wisdom may be acquired in a more conscious manner; feelings of anger, guilt, blame, and victimization are healed and replaced by acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace. (less)

This is an important book.
By means of communication through mediums and channels, Robert Schwartz examines the subject of pre-birth planning by having these interview angels, spirit guides and the souls of selected persons exposed to severe life challenges. We are given access to pre-birth conversations and thus gain “direct” information regarding how we arrange difficult life events beforehand with all the involved persons.
Six types of challenges are dealt with, a chapter being devoted to each. These are physical illness, parenting handicapped children, deafness and blindness, drug addiction and alcoholism, death of a loved one and, finally, accidents.
I was previously aware of the concept of pre-birth planning, but this well-written book has illuminated the matter clearly for me and I have been much comforted by reading it. Partly, I have myself considerable health challenges and have been aware of the fact that they had meaning, but have now been confirmed of this. The book has comforted me. Also, the book has taught me to respect brave persons I encounter who I understand have chosen their hard lot in life for purposes of growth.
In the first chapter about physical illness, we meet Jon, who chose both to have AIDS and be gay. Jon planned the experience of having AIDS, not just for his own learning, but for the growth of his entire soul group. The progress we as personalities make on the Earth plane expands both our individual souls and every soul in our group. “The disease of AIDS is about splitting a desire for unconditional love with the belief that one does not deserve it.” Jon came down to his life to heal shame – the belief that he is not deserving of unconditional love.
The author asks an angel what it would say to someone with AIDS who is trying to understand the deeper spiritual meaning. The angel replies “Remain very open in your heart. Follow that which comes only from the heart, and in this way many healings will occur on levels that are beyond your understanding.” I feel this is valuable advice.
Of the souls in Jon’s soul group, Jon agreed to be the one with AIDS, while the others were incarnating around him to judge him, reject him and refrain from providing him with unconditional love.
AIDS “points to a pattern of self-hatred among humankind … movement away from light, and a belief in the Self as the body and separate from All That Is.” AIDS is healing humanity.
We also hear about Doris, who suffered from self-loathing and had a toxic self-image. She developed breast cancer. Through her illness Doris learnt the correct use of sexual energy, acceptance of the female form and self-love.
Doris’s cancer is neither a failure nor a punishment. It is a form of healing, not illness,
“As Jon and Doris released shame and self-loathing and chose instead to love themselves, they made it easier for every person on Earth to replace self-judgement with self-love.” They created a vibration or resonance of love that radiated well beyond their immediate sphere. “By surmounting the challenges we planned before birth, we create a resonance that heals humanity.”
In the chapter about parenting handicapped children, we hear the story of Jennifer, who has two handicapped boys, one with Asperger’s Syndrome, bipolar disorder and ADD, the other one with severe autism and who is blind.
The two boys were brothers in a previous life, where they also were Nazis. They chose to come back “communicationally disabled” to learn what it is like to have the truth and be unable to communicate it, since before “they had the truth and deliberately buried it.”
In the chapter about deafness and blindness we are given the story of Penelope, who has been completely deaf since birth, She knew she was meant to be deaf “to better understand the neglected”. The medium, Staci, finds out that being deaf gives Penelope the opportunity to be more in touch with her “inner experience, intuition, thoughts, even the physical symptoms and feedback” her body gives her. It helps her to know herself.
We also learn about Bob, who is blind. His life plan was designed to give him a deeper understanding of self-love through both its lack and the experience of its subsequent creation.
The chapter on drug addiction and alcoholism is particularly illuminating, since this is a group whom we often judge, wondering why they don’t just pull themselves together and refrain from submitting to their addiction. The persons involved planned not only their addiction, but the specific addictive substance. We are told that for those addicted to drugs it is “essential to honour your past, know yourself, learn about who you are, and then love yourself”.
We learn to see drug addicts not as such but as courageous souls who undertook the life challenge of drug addiction to learn self-nurturing.
Pat, the alcoholic, had carried into this life the energy of fear. His plan was that fear would cause alcoholism, which in turn could lead to a healing of fear. He planned not only his alcoholism but the surmounting of that addiction. He had lost his connection with the All That Is, with God, with his own divine nature and spirituality. The return to seeking and achieving spiritual connection is motivated by the total lack of it, which the alcoholism causes. This was a classic learning-through-opposites life plan.
The chapters on the death of a loved one and accidents are equally instructive.
I found the book as a whole to be thoroughly illuminating, insightful, informative, satisfying, comforting and perfectly expressed. I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone. It is one of the most important books I have read this year, in fact, ever.

Recommends it for: believers in reincarnation
I found this book while taking Metaphysical courses. It disucsses reincarnation, and how our soul's plan what they need to grow to perfection. We choose the situations we are born in, to balance our karma and gain the experiences we need to do so. We also do this in "Soul Groups" so if you feel like you know someone the first time you met them, they were likely a part of your life in a different incarnation. This was a very interesting read.

One book that never leaves my coffee table, or even my briefcase when I travel, as I consider it one of the most important tools of my life, Robert Schwartz' "Your Soul's Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born" brings summation, understanding, compassion, affirmation, and most importantly courage to the forefront.
This book is a miracle.
Not everyone is ready for this information. Yet when it comes your way, expect to be changed -- or not -- personally, it has given me great confidence after one of the most challenging lives imaginable.
Beyond mere words, it is a gift to the world and if you feel you are questioning your place in this existence I would encourage you to find it. It makes a valuable gift to friends who are coping with challenge; thank you to Robert Schwartz for making it happen.
Keep teaching us, Robert.

I urge everyone to read this book. Just by knowing there is a bigger picture (truth) and by expanding your perspective, your physical life in general becomes more meaningful and your attitude towards your life and everyone you encounter will change for the better. You will become aware of what is truly important and stop "sweating the small stuff." Open yourself up to the truth - you've got nothing to lose - only to gain tremendously.

Shelves: metaphysics
This material is what sceptics would call delusional and fundamentalists term as demonic. I think this is an honest effort but those of us who have explored multiple dimensions of the soul's journey, as provided by various sources, would find the concepts in this book comprehensible but not easily compatible with spiritual sensibility.
From this side of the veil, from an ethical, moral and karmic perspective it does seem to go against the grain to put ourselves in the position of superior judgment, delegating instant forgiveness--even commendation--to ourselves or others when committing ignorant, hateful or evil acts. This book can give readers the feeling that as far as our earthly lives are concerned we are often merely puppets in a predetermined game of chess in which free will is given little opportunity to function. I can't help but be a might cynical in respect to this material's emphasis on the frequent goodness of badness. It reminds me quite a bit of the god of Neale Donald Walsch in which moralistic relativism is a strong suit and we are not to attempt to second guess the Grand Scheme of things. It is difficult for me to picture a woman--being one of the "enlightened" ones--who has just been brutally raped, turning to her attacker and saying something like: "I am sure this experience was something I needed and our souls both agreed to, so thank you, and God bless you..."
I found this book well worth the read for curiosity but not one I will treasure. Those who find soul research interesting would be much more challenged by the concepts in "Michael for the Millennium" by Yarbro. I much prefer the works of Michael Newton and the Edgar Cayce legacy. May truth be wherever we find it! (less)

Shakespeare said that all the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. This author goes one step further and says that we helped write the play, especially our own part. Whether you believe that or not, this book emphasizes that karma means not punishment, but opportunities, with useful insight in recognizing those opportunities in our own lives.

I read this book a long time ago. I gave it away out of gratitude. Wish I could give an in-depth recommendation... Know that if you are a person earnestly seeking for spiritual answers, for your mind to be changed and world-view to be enriched, if the concept of soul families and pre-birth intention appeals to you, this book is for you. It did my heart so good.
It will give you higher perspectives on any struggle (diseases, addictions, having disabled children, loss of Loved Ones, etc.) whether or not you feel personally relates to you *or could* - in the end you will be flourished with tangible insights and breathtaking love for the Intelligence behind, and look with new eyes at the old, and feel greater devotion to all stories and growing souls, yours included. I remember the touching impact Penelopes story had on me.. they were all honestly healing big time.
I consider it a memory gifted to the One on his conscious path back home, encouraging forgiveness and letting go.
I can only say: If you hear the calling, go for it. ❤
Books like this are like a secret. They may not be for everyone. But for those they are their beauty will be revealed inevitably. (less)

I read the book slowly, over many weeks, giving myself time to digest and mull over the matter - reflecting as I was reading through.
This book is centred on the basic premise that all the worlds a stage, we write the play, especially our own part in it, to learn certain lessons, that help in spiritual evolution, the quicker you learn, the more you discover about life and living.
The closest I’ve come to reading matter like this is 10-15 years ago - a book by Dr. Brian Weiss called Many Lives Many Masters, a psychologist, that uses past life regression in therapy with miraculous results. While that book was more like this happened and then this result ensued, this book went more into the why, what were the lessons learned, how this can be applied to more people at large. So while nothing in this book was earth shatteringly new material, there was something refreshing here. I liked the format of stories, it was very impactful. I like the emphasis on life lessons that were woven into stories through the book. I felt like some more information on how he found people to interview and how he found the people who made his book possible was lacking - it could have added more context. And some stuff seemed repetitive. But overall, lovely read. I’d highly recommend to people interested in their spiritual evolution. (less)
