An interesting story combining religion and spirituality to try to explain what happens when we die. I'm not sure if the author's credentials are verifiable but his story was compelling to read! It solidified a lot of beliefs I already had…

There is a place your soul transitions to upon death, or whilst dying. I had my own such experience, and truly, all I will say is the things you do in this life matter, they sincerely, matter.

In reality - Eben Alexander is a quack.

🤨 Have you ever noticed that descriptions of near-death experiences are a lot like descriptions of LSD or psilocybin experiences? You might almost get the idea that these feelings are due to something in your head, something that can be…

True story of a neurosurgeon's near death experience. By his analysis, his experience is proof of heaven. His book is very encouraging and a confirmation of what I believe. I have given this book to Anne and Ray, and Nancy and Tom.

I enjoyed this book. It's a pretty easy read and will make you think about the meaning and purpose of life; the bigger picture of our existence.

having experienced my own near-death experience, I found Eben Alexander's account not at all convincing, what he lacks is the sense of awe that silences the subject before so sacred an epiphany, one isn't called to shout it from the…

I enjoy reading about near death experiences because it always encourages me in my faith. I hope that when I face my own death, I will be able to have peace knowing that heaven is incredible beyond what words can express. Whether you…

Being a neurosurgeon, Dr. Alexander answered many scientists' doubts about NDEs, but the book was less inspiring to me than the other books I have read about NDEs.

A little disappointed. Not as inspiring as I had hoped it would be.

I find it interesting to read what people experience once they have died. No one ever comes back to life claiming their religion is the best and they should work more to obtain more money.

Interesting book. His experiences don't seem far fetched, and his ideas were mostly well articulated. Very important topic.

Disappointing! I was hoping for a lot more from this book given the hype and subject matter. I have read extensively books about NDE and OBE and related subjects and felt that this author failed to add anything new to the subject or, more…

I read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eben_Alexander_%28author%29, and it presents a fuller picture of Alexander than that given by the last reviewers. Maybe like everything, it's how you look at the information. I'm not saying that…

This is a completely contrived, nonsensical book that should be filed under fiction. The author lies about his status as a surgeon. Reality is that he had numerous malpractice suits and been fired from the positions that he claims he…

This is an interesting book on the author’s life and temporary afterlife but it is too long. It is a short book but it would be better as a short story.

i read this in one day-it's okay. I found the editing pretty bad. Way too much information about all the things this guy had done and details about his families. Some of that could have been removed to an introductory section. Too much…

A highly trained neurosurgeon who operated on thousands of brains had a Near Death Experience (NDE) and says that God (or The Source or OM) and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.

The author describes his sojourns into both Heaven and Hell both of which appear to be brief. Most of the book deals with his physical condition and visits by his family. I have read other books about the afterlife, so my expectations…

This book was an interesting read especially since a neuro-surgeon lived through a near death experience and was transformed afterwards.

I highly recommend this book. It is amazing! Once I began reading it, I did not want to stop! Read it...

Very thought provoking book. I have been a nurse all of my adult life, and have always believed in heaven, and communication with people before you go. To add the physician and adoption issues to a near death experience made it much more…
