Summary
The #1 New York Times bestselling account of a neurosurgeon's own near-death experience—for readers of 7 Lessons from Heaven.

Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.

Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back.

Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.

Alexander’s story is not a fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.

This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Reading it will change your life.

When selecting this book I was hoping to get some sort of an insight into an NDE. However the author of the book seem to be more interested in validating he's NDE as an authentic experience as well as describing the experience of the people around him at the time. And while he claims to have seen and learned a lot during he's experience it seems that the only message he's passing on is the same old message of "you are loved". I was somewhat disappointed.

This was a very interesting, inspirational, and thought provoking account. I very much believe in the presence of Heaven, so for me, this was a further testimony of it's existence.

Such excruciating details on the authors experience, intelligence, training, importance and success, but extremely sparse on the heavenly experience. 4 hours of all about me, me, me and 1 hour about heaven. The Audiobooks restrictive format and presentation keeps one lost and muddles the message by the Chapters not being in coordination with the unrelated actual way the story is presented. One is unable to skip the obvious self-centered blather to get the the gist of the book, which is very interesting, but ........ less much detail than the boring parts Didn't need an editor or to smart to listen to an editor?

I am a person of faith and listen to segments of this book often. Overall, it is enlightening, big time

Enjoyed all the medical lingo due to being in the medical field myself...but after my husband passing recently, the medical lingo was not comforting! Disappointed at the lack of description of the trip!

The story of him surviving his illness is amazing in itself. His outer body experience is something I have always believed in. I have witnessed two family members pass, seeing some unexplainable things during those times. Later seeing them in meditations or while dreaming. This book was comforting to me, letting me know that my loved ones who have passed are somewhere out there!

This book was very believable and I found myself eager to hear what Eban was going to say next. It had a lot of medical terminology, but what do you expect from a brain surgeon.

What a fantastic book. So profound and enlightening!

Profile Avatar Lynda Colter-Bergh Mar 2014

Reading these events from the mind of a skeptical doctor made this a journey of discovery tempered by the struggle to explain. His experience and conclusions will expand your view on the topic of NDE no matter your current belief.

Profile Avatar Robert Batts Oct 2013

New age stuff to me. I don't need science to confirm or affirm that there is God and an after life; it's called faith.
