    About this ebook

    In Consciousness Beyond Life, the internationally renowned cardiologist Dr. Pim van Lommel offers ground-breaking research into whether or not our consciousness survives the death of our body. If you enjoy books about near-death experiences, such as those by Raymond Moody, Jeffrey Long, and James Van Praagh; watch televisions shows like Ghosthunters, Touched by an Angel, and Ghost Whisperer; or are interested in works that explore the intersection of faith and science, such as Spiritual Brain, Signature in the Cell, and When Science Meets Religion; you’ll find much to ponder in Consciousness Beyond Life.

    Pim van Lommel

    Pim van Lommel is a world-renowned cardiologist and medical expert on near-death experiences. For more than twenty-five years he worked as a cardiologist at an eight-hundred-bed teaching hospital in the Netherlands where he began studying near-death experiences in patients who survived a cardiac arrest. In addition to his sensational study published in the distinguished British medical journal The Lancet, van Lommel has authored chapters in several books about near-death experiences and also published many articles about the subject. Over the past several years, van Lommel has been lecturing all over the world on near-death experiences and the relationship between consciousness and brain function. In 2005, he was granted the Bruce Greyson Research Award on behalf of the International Association of Near-Death Studies. In 2006, the president of India awarded him the lifetime achievement award at the World Congress on Clinical and Preventive Cardiology in New Delhi.

      All literate human beings should read this book. Skepchris' rating is completely inaccurate. Van Lommel addresses all critics with solid science.

      It is clear that the author wants that near death experiences are real. So far it is a fair book. The first chapters are fairly honest, even though he never mentions the content of the critique he got for his Lancet publication.Later on in the book it gets really bad. He collects facts, if need be factoids which have been disproven ages ago, to support his idea that the DNA is the antenna for the brain. His summaries of quantum particles, DNA as antenna for some cosmic non local superdatastorage to explain how the brain works despite it being far too slow to work according to this cardiologist are often flawed. That's probably why Pim van Lommel complains how shortsighted and materialistic scientists are.But despite the subtitle this is not science. Science is about trying to test your own ideas, not about trying to evade or deny all contrarian evidence. 'Galileo was also not taken serious'.For gullible people.
