What happens when we die?
Ten per cent of people whose hearts stop, and then restart, report near-death experiences. Stories of lights, tunnels and reunion with late loved ones have been relayed - and dismissed - since ancient times. But when Dr Bruce Greyson's patients started describing events that he simply could not dismiss, he began to investigate.
In After, he shares the scientific revelations of four decades of research into the dying process. He has become increasingly convinced that dying is less an ending than a transition, the threshold between one form of consciousness and another. Dr Greyson challenges us to consider what these lessons can teach us about the relationship between our brain and our mind, expanding our understanding of consciousness and of what it means to be human.

Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. First Edition. Grey end-papers. Titles & introduction to front. In his book 'After', Dr. Bruce Greyson, a leading researcher in near-death experiences (NDEs), presents his four decades of research suggesting that dying is not an ending but a transition of consciousness. He explores how NDEs, common among those whose hearts stop and restart, offer scientific insights into the relationship between the brain and mind, challenging the fear of death and transforming it into a healthy understanding of life as a journey with milestones. The book details NDEs and their after-effects to illustrate how these experiences lead to profound changes in people's lives, values, and understanding of their place in the universe. The core argument is that NDEs are not just neurological events but evidence of a continuity of consciousness that transcends the physical body, suggesting death is a transition to another state of being.
