Not saying whether I believe it, just saying it was a good book with plenty to think about. And it felt comforting. ( )

Thought provoking... ( )

In questo libro ho ritrovato molte corrispondenze con il mio modo di vedere la vita, il mio concetto di spiritualità e aldilà. Io credo nella reincarnazione, nel lavoro continuo di noi spiriti per aiutare noi stessi e gli altri. Ho apprezzato molto le digressioni filosofiche e il confronto con le teorie di Platone, con il libro Tibetano dei Morti e altri ancora.

Il libro di Moody raccolta le testimonianze di persone clinicamente morte che, sottoposte a pratiche di rianimazione, sono tornate a vivere. Che cosa hanno provato mentre erano morte? Quali esperienze ci attendono nell'aldilà? A questi e ad altri fondamentali interrogativi troviamo risposta in queste pagine: una risposta rassicurante, che strappa alla morte la sua maschera angosciosa, e ce la presenta come dispensatrice di intensi sentimenti di gioia, amore e pace.

Good one on near death experiences. Makes you believe! ( )

Very interesting. I enjoyed the book, ( )

A man is dying and, as he reaches the point of greatest physical distress, he hears himself pronounced dead by his doctor. He begins to hear an uncomfortable noise, a loud ringing or buzzing, and at the same time feels himself moving very rapidly through a long, dark tunnel. After this, he finds himself outside of his own physical body...Soon, other things begin to happen. Others come to meet and help him. He glimpses the spirits of relatives and friends who have already died, and a loving, warm spirit of a kind he has nver encountered before-a being of light-appears before him.

Over the past five years, Dr. Raymond Moody has studied more than one hundred subjects who have experienced 'clinical death' and been revived. Their accounts of this experience are startlingly similar in detail.

'It is research like Dr. Moody presents in this book that will enlighten many and will confirm what we have been taught for two thousand years-that there is life after death.'-From the foreword by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D.

En su día me impresionó bastante lo de la luz al final del túnel y la vida después de la vida, pero años después aprendí que lo de este hombre son solo paparruchas. Un pseudocientífico más. No merece la pena el esfuerzo de leerlo. ( )

Raymond Moody coined the phrase "near-death-experience" in his book published in 1975 which many credit as being the catalyst for subsequent research into this phenomena. If you care to understand the origins of contemporary thought into NDEs, this is a good book to read. This was the first book I read on the subject which prompted me to study the subject in great detail and, ultimately, changed my life. Moody's book is an easy read and not overly long.

I inherited this book from my grandfather. It was a fascinating read. ( )

Important work on evidence or reincarnation

Actually a reread. The similarities between these near-death accounts and also sources such as the works of Plato and the Bible reinforce my feelings that there is life after this one and a benevolent supreme being. It also reinforces the importance of two things-love and the quest for knowledge. This classic work is worth reading. So open up your mind and give it a read. ( )

Life After Life is written by a medical doctor who recounts experiences of numerous patients who report remarkably similar experiences with near death experiences.Dr. Moody writes in an unbiased way as scientific as possible given the topic. He concludes the book by saying he has no proof or conclusions--only more questions.

If you've ever wanted to read first-hand accounts of near death experiences this is the book to read.

As the author says, there are no answers--only more questions. But the stories are beautifully recalled by the patients and it does give one hope for a hereafter. ( )

I was impressed with the book until his afterword, which he wrote in 2000, where he claims that he can safely help people cross to the other side and back. Maybe I need to look more into it, but it just sounds like another Sylvia Brown and the like. ( )

I have recently reread this book which was published 32 years ago. In my 20's, I took a college course on Death with Buzz O'Connell in Houston, Texas. He also taught a course on humor, but told us there was more humor and laughter in the death course. Somehow when a joke is studied, it loses its laugh. On the other hand, laughing is one way to deal with our uncomfortable feelings about our death.

In the 1970's, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., who wrote the foreword to this book, was quite the rage as she delineated the stages a person goes through in facing death. Dr. Moody's book reviews 150 cases of people with near-death experiences (died and were resuscitated) to give us the stages after death as reported in these cases.

What is remarkable is that the stages he discovered parallel much writings on meditation, which is often referred to as dying while living. As a person who is very familiar with much writing on meditation, it was easy for me to see the parallels as I read his section on "The Experience of Dying."

In his section on "Parallels," he did not really discuss the practices of Eastern meditation or even of Jewish or Christian meditation, but he did a good job of the writings of Plato, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and Emanuel Swedenborg. I had read The Book of the Dead and knew about Plato, but was interested in the details provided by Dr. Moody. Swedenborg was new to me.

I enjoyed rereading the book as my knowledge of meditation is much richer today. Anyone involved in meditation will see immediately the value of this work. I wonder what Dr. Moody is doing today. ( )
