Author Name: Dr. Bruce Grayson
‎

A journey towards rethinking death, life, and the continuity of consciousness after death.

In this book, Bruce Grayson, MD, professor emeritus of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences, explores life beyond and shares the transformative lessons he has learned over nearly half a century of studying these compelling firsthand experiences and stories.
While our culture tends to view death as the end of our consciousness and the end of our existence, a prospect that causes fear and anxiety for many people, Bruce, the world's leading expert on near-death experiences, approached these experiences from a scientific perspective as a physician...
Incredible near-death experiences have been recorded since ancient times, and today they are described by people whose hearts stop for various reasons. The medical world has generally dismissed these "near-death experiences," dismissing them as "brain tricks" or wishful thinking. But after his patients began describing events he couldn't hide, Bruce began investigating.
Dr. Greyson explains how scientific discoveries about the dying process can support an alternative theory. Death could be a threshold between different forms of consciousness, not an end... but a transition. This new perspective on the nature of death could transform the fear of death that pervades our culture into a healthy view of it as just another milestone in our life's journey. "Beyond" challenges us to open our minds to these experiences and what they can teach us, and in doing so, expand our understanding of consciousness and what it means to be human.

"Bruce Grayson's stunning and long-awaited book is a major contribution to the study of what happens when we die, and will quickly prove to be a classic in near-death studies."
