The world's leading expert on near-death experiences reveals his
journey toward rethinking the nature of death, life, and the
continuity of consciousness. What happens when we die? 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 Bruce Greyson’s
patients started describing events that he could not just dismiss,
he began to investigate. As a physician without a religious belief
system, he approached NDEs from a scientific perspective. In After,
he shares the transformative lessons he has learned over four
decades of research. Our culture has tended to view dying as the
end of our consciousness, the end of our existence — a dreaded
prospect that for many people evokes fear and anxiety. But Dr
Greyson shows how scientific revelations about the dying process
can support an alternative theory. Dying could be the threshold
between one form of consciousness and another, not an ending but a
transition. This new perspective on the nature of death can
transform the fear of dying that pervades our culture into a
healthy view of it as one more milestone in the course of our
lives. After challenges us to reconsider these experiences and what
they 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.
