Consciousness Beyond Life

"As one of the foremost experts in the field, his work moves us closer to rational comprehension of human kind's deepest mystery—life after death." — Raymond A. Moody MD, PhD, author of Life After Life
In Consciousness Beyond Life, the internationally renowned cardiologist Dr. Pim van Lommel offers ground-breaking research into whether or not our consciousness survives the death of our body. If you enjoy books about near-death experiences, such as those by Raymond Moody, Jeffrey Long, and James Van Praagh; watch televisions shows like Ghosthunters, Touched by an Angel, and Ghost Whisperer; or are interested in works that explore the intersection of faith and science, such as Spiritual Brain, Signature in the Cell, and When Science Meets Religion; you'll find much to ponder in Consciousness Beyond Life.
"The evidence supports the validity of 'near-death' experiences and suggests that scientists should rethink theories on one of the ultimate medical mysteries: the nature of human consciousness." — The Washington Post
"This research will be seized on by academics who believe that the mind can continue to work after the brain has stopped. Church leaders will cite it as evidence for the existence of a soul." — The Sunday Telegraph (London)
"Pim van Lommel shows that the symphony of human consciousness does continue . . . [even] at the portals of death. His evidence is robust, and can no longer be ignored either by the science community, or by society at large." — Dr. Ervin Laszlo, author of Science and the Akashic Field
"The distinctive contribution of this book is that it presents and defends a complete theory of consciousness . . . clearly a landmark book." — Dr. Kenneth Ring, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, University of Connecticut
