After-A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond by Dr. Bruce Greyson

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.

In this book, Dr. Greyson challenges us to consider what NDEs can teach us about the relationship between our brain and our mind, expanding our understanding of consciousness, and of what it means to be human. Order the Book

TREND FOLLOWING with MICHAEL COVEL. Bruce Greyson reveals his journey toward rethinking the nature of death, life, and the continuity of consciousness.  Cases of remarkable experiences on the threshold of death have been reported since ancient times, and are described today by 10% of people whose hearts stop. Medicine has generally ignored these “near-death experiences,” dismissing them as “tricks of the brain” or wishful thinking. Greyson began to investigate after his patients started describing events that he could not ignore.
