Dr. van Lommel takes us on a journey of discovery into the mysterious world of consciousness and its multiple levels and turns current understanding on its head. I loved the way the author steered me with ease into the realms of neuroscience and quantum mechanics without leaving me scratching my head.

This is so much more than a book about consciousness. This is a fantastic read for anyone wanting to know who we really…

From Alan's list on consciousness that demonstrates there is more to life than we know.

This is one of my favorite books with respect to a postmaterialist view of mind/consciousness.

Dr. Pim van Lommel is an internationally renowned cardiologist and one of the foremost experts in the field of near-death experiences (NDEs). In this landmark book, he presents scientific evidence showing that even when people are clinically dead, they can still experience clear thinking, accurate perception, and enhanced memory.

This strongly suggests that consciousness can even be experienced separate from the physical body.

From Mario's list on the new science of consciousness.
