After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond 

What happens when we die? Approximately 10% of people whose hearts stop report near-death experiences (NDEs). Stories of lights, tunnels and loved ones have been relayed — and dismissed — since ancient times. But when Dr. Greyson’s patients started describing events that he could not just dismiss, he began to investigate.  In After, Bruce Greyson shares the transformative lessons he has learned over four decades of research.
