Journey of Souls is a book by hypnotherapist[1] Dr. Michael Newton (9 December 1931 – 22 September 2016), published in 1994 by Llewellyn Publications.[2] The book contains the purported recollections of 29 people after their prior deaths, relayed while under hypnosis.[3][4] Its subject matter includes past life regressions and "Life Between Lives" therapy, which claims to transport the patient to where the human soul spends time before reincarnation.[5]
The testimony within the book presents the afterlife as a journey where individual consciousness undergoes reflection and transformation.[6] Hierarchies of souls are described, with souls clustered into groups or larger entities.[7]
A follow-up, Destiny of Souls, was released by Newton in 2000.[8]

Journey of Souls sold 750,000 copies as of 2021, making it one of the highest selling books published by Llewellyn.[2] It received public praise from celebrities Shirley MacLaine[9] and Megan Fox.[10]
