What happens in the moments between life and death? Across centuries and cultures, thousands of people have come back from the edge of dying with remarkably similar stories. Tunnels, light, life reviews, and encounters with presences that defy explanation. In this deep dive, we trace the history of near-death experiences from ancient accounts in Plato and the Egyptian Book of the Dead, through the landmark research of Raymond Moody and Pim van Lommel, to the cases that have genuinely stumped modern neuroscience.

Whether you’re a curious sceptic or an open believer, this one will stay with you. Perfect for knowledge seekers, curious minds, those exploring consciousness and the afterlife, or anyone winding down for a long, cozy night of unconscious learning.
