Near Death Experiences - by Anthony Peake (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Peake's explanation of your immortality is the most innovative and provocative argument I have seen" - Bruce Greyson, Carlson Professor of Psychiatry, University of Virginia.

What happens when we die?

As the bestselling author of Is There Life After Death? and Cheating the Ferryman, Anthony Peake has studied this topic for over two decades. In this latest follow-up, Peake explores the incredible phenomena of Near-Death Experiences, asking what insights this seemingly inexplicable state can offer to life's biggest question.

In this fascinating book, Peake not only examines the latest neuroscientific hypotheses concerning the physical and psychological aspects of NDEs, but also explores how anthropological studies and spiritual beliefs have contributed to our understanding of them.

With pertinent assessments of out-of-body experiences, the panoramic life review and the concept of time distortion, Peake provides a timely consideration of a subject that questions our views of consciousness and reality.
