Summary

Dr. Sam Parnia faces death every day. Through his work as a critical-care doctor in the emergency room, he became very interested in some of his patients' accounts of the experiences they had while clinically dead.He collected these stories, read all the latest research and then conducted his own experiments. That work has culminated in this extraordinary book, which picks up where Raymond Moody's book Life after Life left off.Dr. Parnia's experiments demonstrate that an individual's consciousness travels outside of their body when they're unconscious and that the body continues to exist even when the brain is dead. Written in a scientific, balanced and engaging style, this book is powerful and compulsive reading.
