Synopsis

Leslie Kean’s impeccably researched, page-turning investigation, revealing stunning and wide-ranging evidence suggests that consciousness survives death. In her groundbreaking second book, she continues her examination of unexplained phenomena that began with her New York Times bestseller UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record.Kean explores the most compelling case studies of young children reporting verifiable details from past lives, contemporary mediums who seem to defy the boundaries of the brain and of the physical world, apparitions providing information about their lives on earth, and people who die and then come back to report journeys into another dimension. Based on facts and scientific studies as well as her own experiences, Surviving Death includes fascinating chapters by medical doctors, psychiatrists, and PhDs from four countries to probe the question: Do we survive death?
