What might it be like to survive death? What should we expect in the afterlife, and can we prepare for it? Life Beyond Death is a positive and engaging journey through the possibilities of the afterlife, in which psychologist David Fontana examines accounts of near-death and out-of-body experiences. Exploring human consciousness, the non-physical nature of mind - 'subtle' bodies, astral, mental and emotional - he considers whether memory, emotions and personality characteristics may remain alive beyond our physical death. He finds remarkable similarities between near-death experiences, reports of apparitions and hauntings, and the recollections of mediums; and also in the spiritual traditions of many cultures, including beliefs associated with reincarnation and paradise. Drawing on his own extensive researches into the paranormal, Life Beyond Death builds a compelling and comforting case for the reality of survival at the moment of passing, and beyond.
