review 1: A very good read where the author balances anecdotal evidence along with scientific evidence, the latter of which is presented in a way that the layman can [mostly] understand. It does get a bit bogged down with statistics and medical terminology part way through though. It has clearly been well researched and looks at both sides of the argument from believer and atheist perspectives.Like any book of this genre, I feel it is important to balance healthy open mindedness with healthy skepticism, and rationalise what you are being told in sensible way, and reject dogma.
review 2: First of all, I have to stress the difficulty of finding a reliable source of non-biased information on a topic such as Near Death Experiences, which is a field full of spiritual gibberis... moreh and religious hacks. 'Consciousness Beyond Life' was a refreshing break in the tide of gibberish, and while it did not provide me with the final answer or explanation for NDE's, it provided enough information to base more educated questions of off. The author delves into every possible explanation for NDE's, even mentioning quantum mechanics as a possibility. The fact that the author was open to even the most unlikely of explanations, as long as it was grounded and supported in and by science, made this a truly captivating read. Normally, books on this topic provide only a kind of superficial interest, because their explanations are irrational and unfounded. But the sheer amount of research and scientific investigation that went into this is fascinating and heartening.This is definitely a good for anyone who is interested in genuine scientific explanations for the Near Death Experience phenomenon. less
