Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death by Deborah Blum

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

Getting through this book was a slog for me but I don't think it's due to the writing, which is well done. I read this book hoping beyond hope that a definitive answer to proof of life after death was found. That proved not to be the case. But, the message of "a will to believe" is a takeaway I will accept. We live in a world of wondrous things. Diamonds fall in the atmosphere of Neptune. Who is to say that our departed loved ones' energy and soul isn't out there, somewhere, in the universe?
