Publisher's summary

Real-life stories of out-of-body experiences, encountering a special light, greeters from the afterlife, life reviews, tunnels, and 360-degree vision - are all part of this intriguing look at near-death experiences (NDEs) by one of the world's noted authorities, P.M.H. Atwater. Atwater shares her amazing findings, based on her sessions with more than 4,000 adults and children, and over 40 years of research; a breathtaking culmination to a successful and controversial career.

Atwater examines every aspect of the near-death phenomenon: from first-hand accounts of survivors experiencing flash forwards, waking up in morgues, and developing psychic abilities, to stunning cases of groups experiencing NDEs together. Atwater offers statistics from her findings to show the distinctive common patterns that people experience, as well as the common aftereffects and how it changed their lives.

She also explores the physiological and spiritual changes that result from near-death experiences and looks at the connections between the NDE experience and what is often called "enlightenment." Near Death Experiences provides a glimpse of not only what lies beyond the veil of our temporal existence, but points to what - or who - we really are and what we are meant to be.

Not what I expected

I found some of the information hard to follow and somewhat uninteresting in terms of straightforward data. The stories were the most interesting and the conclusions drawn from the data were also quite good, but few and far between.

Deep and Heart felt

A very deep and interesting spiritual and scientific listen of NDE. Learned a lot. Clinical in explanations at times but the overall picture is sound, uniform and very interesting.

thorough and well documented

I had a couple of NDEs 40 years ago. until this book, I had never associated the NDEs with the profound changes in personality, spirituality, intuition, and creative gifts I experienced. it was enlightening!

So good

I love this book so much, I ended up saving and clipping a bunch of information in the air. I just lost my grandma and this has brought me so much comfort. This is packed full of information, and after learning it some thing that just makes total sense.

Brilliant

One of the best books written on the NDE experience I've ever read. This book will be a classic.

Too much like a text book

I very much enjoy books on NDE and have enjoyed listening to some of the best of them.. This one, however, I didn't find that interesting.. It's written like a text book, half the time I realized my mind had wandered elsewhere because so much of it was just so very uninteresting.. There are interesting parts here and there, but I'd much rather listen to accounts of NDE as told by the person, not having someone tell a very short Readers Digest account of someone else's experience, then dissect it in her own opinion... Just wasn't that interesting..

PMH Nails It

No skeptic has ever fully investigated NDEs. All those who have find sufficient evidence to conclude that there is no such thing as death. PMH effectively shows the naive attempts to keep a false paradigm going, and simultaneously embroadens existing paradigms. I would recommend it to anyone.
