The first major account of terminal lucidity: the remarkable return
of clarity and cognition at the end of life. Terminal lucidity is a
relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of
life, many people ā including those who have suffered brain
injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or
deep dementia ā experience what seems a miraculous return. They
regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and
caregivers, recall their lives, and often appear to be aware of
their nearing death. In this remarkable book, cognitive scientist
and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute Professor Alexander
BatthyƔny offers the first major account of terminal lucidity,
utilising hundreds of case studies and his research in the related
field of near-death studies to explore the mind, the body, the
nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those
who are crossing the border from life to death. Astonishing,
authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into
one of lifeās ā and deathās ā most provocative mysteries.
