After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond by Bruce Greyson

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective

3.5

This was a therapist assigned reading because I suffer from good ole parental death trauma ™️. I did appreciate the different angles Dr. Greyson touched on and the fact that he tried to frame it in the most unbiased way possible (highlighting the “pros” and “con” a near death experience can have on someone’s life) but I also did find it hard to get through. Whether it’s because a. it was just a lot to read about all the different ways people can spontaneously die or b. I didn’t like the way it was written, I’m still not entirely sure. 

Also do not read this book if you’re pregnant or wanna be pregnant. So many near death child birth experiences UGH. 

Regardless I think it was important for me to read this and I think it was a great introduction to the topic. I’ll definitely be reading more books about near death experiences in the future.
