BOOK OF THE MONTH: forces you to consider the unknown and try to
come to terms with the unexplained.
*Independent*
From a less authoritative source, these stories could seem mawkish
or flaky. Told here with calm precision, and with a conversational
flair, they are both absorbing and convincing. With so much
evidence available for further investigation, the most vexing
question now is not whether life continues in some form after we
die, but why mainstream science is so resistant to the idea.
*Daily Mail*
After is that rare thing, a scientific book that is also a
page-turner. Greyson's meticulous research leaves little doubt that
the human mind somehow survives beyond the point of death.
*Nick Evans, bestselling author of The Horsewhisper*
This very captivating book by Dr. Bruce Greyson chronicles his

studies.

over the last 40 years of this world-changing analysis. His work
has done much to organize the scientific investigation of these
experiences, to take them from fascinating anecdotes to systematic

change our fractured and confused world, offering insights that may
lead to an explanation of the nature of consciousness. It will also
help to nudge the entire scientific community towards realizations
that can alter human history — bringing far more peace, harmony,
and comfort to uncountable millions of souls both now and in future
generations.

Experiences*
In this very important book, Dr. Bruce Greyson helps elucidate the
near-death experience with a scientific sensibility that makes what
was exquisitely personal more accessible to a general audience. He
bridges the gap between science and spirituality with elegance, and

forty years of dispassionate and methodical research into the
experience of dying and his commitment to rigorous investigation of
this threshold between life and death. This book addresses the
nature and meaning of life through Dr Greyson’s interweaving of
personal stories and scientific evidence and in doing so, provides
hope to the dying and comfort to those left behind.

Bruce Greyson is the towering figure in the research on death, the
brain, and consciousness. Now, after four decades of meticulous
study, he urges us to consider the deepest mystery of life: Whether
we live and die as solely material beings, or experience death as a
transition to an unseen reality. With compelling case studies and
careful investigation, this book represents the best of scientific
exploration. It is guided by a scientist with impeccable
credentials and who has the humility and courage to follow the
evidence to some surprising – and hopeful - conclusions. This book
will define near-death research. It will change the way we live our
lives.
