In his unique work, Raymond Moody-a philosopher, psychologist and psychiatrist - first described and investigated the so-called near-death experience, or near-death experiences. He analyzed more than a hundred reports of patients who have experienced clinical death, and identified common motives that are repeated in their stories, such as a loud hum, bright light, tunnel, exit from the physical body, meeting with deceased loved ones waiting "on the other side", and with some beautiful luminous beings, a retrospective review of all life and unwillingness to return back to our world… First published in 1975, this book immediately became a world bestseller and forever changed the attitude of society not only to death and dying, but also to life. This edition includes a classic foreword by psychiatrist Elizabeth Kubler-Ross-the creator of the concept of hospice care for the dying-and a new foreword by neurosurgeon Eben Alexander, as well as a commemorative afterword by the author, written 40 years after the first publication of the book.
