About this listen

"My experience showed me that the death of the body and brain is not the end of consciousness... What happened to me while I was in a coma is the most important story I will ever tell. But it's a tricky story to tell because it is so foreign to ordinary understanding."

When prominent US neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander goes into a coma after contracting a severe brain infection, his doctors tell his family to prepare for the worst - death or, at best, survival in a vegetative state.
Remarkably, Dr Alexander wakes up seven days later with his faculties intact. Just as extraordinary is his detailed recall of a near-death experience. Based on all that is known about how the brain works, Dr Alexander had no capacity, while in the coma, to create thought; his neocortex, the part of his brain that makes us human, had effectively shut down. So how was it that he awoke with a coherent and profound set of memories?

Near-death experiences have been well documented, but rarely with the kind of rigour and insight offered here. Dr Alexander has spent his adult life unravelling the mysteries of the human brain through the prism of medical science. His personal story is a moving account of facing death, and a compelling case for the survival of consciousness beyond the demise of the body.

Awakening

This book is a must read for all those lost souls out there who know there is more to this existence than just the physical. I find Eben's journey into the afterlife all the more credible due to his background in neurosurgery, and his scientific discussions on the matter which give different perspectives but still all lead to one thing. We are so much more than we could ever realise.

Moving, emotional and compelling

This story moved me enormously and confirms what I have always believed - there is more to life than what we are living in the physical plane!

Worth listening to!

What an incredible story and experience!
Very easy to listen to, I listened in my car at the beach, at home relaxing, and while working. The narrator/author of the book is very easy to listen to, he's articulate, pronounces words clearly, his storytelling is engaging and descriptive so you feel like you were there. Also, because it is hos own story, there is so much authenticity, humility and grace with his voice, it's so refreshing!
His story is truly one in 10 million. Wait for the twist near the end. I'm really glad I downloaded this book, I now have a wishlist full of books to listen to! I'm addicted to auidobooks now! 😊

Very interesting and informative

I listened to this book in a day, once you start you don’t want to stop, a very interesting experience written well, easy to understand and gives you goosebumps. Recommend to anyone, but particularly anyone grieving a loss of a loved one.

A Heavenly Experience!

A must-listen(read) for all - believers and skeptics alike. I personally needed no convincing of the afterlife, but found Eben’s beautiful story and heartfelt narration so incredibly moving and inspiring. Tears of joy, sadness and relief flowed as I listened to his tale. His words and story soothed my heart where they will remain, forever. ❤️🙏🏼

Very interesting and food for thought

Incredibly interesting look at one man’s experience and it’s interaction with science. Has really made me take a second look at what I believe and has opened up my mind slightly more. Definitely worth a read.
