Why read it?

2 authors picked The Unanswered Question as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

More than any other book I have read, "The Unanswered Question" does the best job of triangulating the literature on the afterlife, including "The Tibetan Book of the Dead," "The Egyptian Book of the Dead," "The Swedish Book of the Dead," the NDE and OBE literature, insights from world religions, and the author's decades of OBE experience. A must read for anyone who wants to better understand the mystery of the afterlife.

It expanded my awareness of what is possible after life. Kurt Leland triangulates data from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, various religions, the Near Death Experience literature, and decades of his out-of-body travels to compile what may happen to us after death.

Few have taken up the challenge of such a complex and mysterious subject and answered the challenge with such depth of knowledge.
