Life After Life: The Bestselling Original Investigation That Revealed "Near-Death Experiences"

Life After Life: The Bestselling Original Investigation That Revealed "Near-Death Experiences"
$13.98
(475)
In Stock.

The groundbreaking, bestselling classic, now available in a special fortieth-anniversary edition that includes a new Foreword from Eben Alexander, M.D., author of Proof of Heaven, and a new Afterword by the author.

Raymond Moody is the “father” of the modern NDE (Near Death Experience) movement, and his pioneering work Life After Life transformed the world, revolutionizing the way we think about death and what lies beyond. Originally published in 1975, it is the groundbreaking study of one hundred people who experienced “clinical death” and were revived, and who tell, in their own words, what lies beyond death.

A smash bestseller that has sold more than thirteen million copies around the globe, Life After Life introduced us to concepts—including the bright light, the tunnel, the presence of loved ones waiting on the other side—that have become cultural memes today, and paved the way for modern bestsellers by Eben Alexander, Todd Burpo, Mary Neal, and Betty Eadie that have shaped countless readers notions about the end life and the meaning of death.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“It is research like Dr. Moody presents in his book that will enlighten many and will confirm what we have been taught for two thousand years -- that there is life after death.” (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., author of On Death and Dying)

From the Back Cover

In Life After Life Raymond Moody investigates more than one hundred case studies of people who experienced "clinical death" and were subsequently revived. First published in 1975, this classic exploration of life after death started a revolution in popular attitudes about the afterlife and established Dr. Moody as the world's leading authority in the field of near-death experiences. Life after Life forever changed the way we understand both death—and life—selling millions of copies to a world hungry for a greater understanding of this mysterious phenomenon.

The extraordinary stories presented here provide evidence that there is life after physical death, as Moody recounts the testimonies of those who have been to the "other side" and back—all bearing striking similarities of an overwelming positive nature. These moving and inspiring accounts give us a glimpse of the peace and unconditional love that await us all.

A must read if you've recently lost someone!

March 21, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book helped me heal after my mothers death December 1st. I was a wreck with grief for 2 1/2 months. I had that 1% doubt in my mind that maybe, just maybe, there wasn't a Heaven after all. I started drinking (every day)! I was a mess!
I read this in two days, and was "healed"! I felt so much better after reading it, that I gave it to someone else to read who was also grieving her fathers death.

Your loved one feels as bad about the separation as much as you do! They're not dead, but temporarily elsewhere.

January 14, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book was recommended to me by someone in 1975, which I read eagerly at the time. It was right after my maternal grandmother died, and the year Life After Life was a best seller. This was very comforting to me. There's no phoney hocus pocus, no exaggeration. The book is based on solid medical research. Last month I ordered a copy for my friend who will soon lose a loved one. The ladies are good friends, aged in their 80s and 90s. They're next door neighbors in the wing in which I live, in a retirement building. I gave this book to the recipient, and she read half of the book at first sitting, reading all night. She has thanked me several times over, as she has derived much comfort from it. Now, she says, she has a new perspective on the inevitable change every human will eventually make. We should consider our "lost ones as "elsewhere," rather than dead. They aren't lost at all. I'm glad I read the book back in the mid 70s, and I am pleased that this has comforted my friend.

Still the Best Primer on "Near Death Experiences"

March 22, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

First published in the late 1970s, I believe this book is still the best introduction to the phenomenon known as the "Near Death Experience" (NDE). Whether you're a believer, skeptic, agnostic, atheist, Christian, Buddhist, Jew, Wicca--makes no difference, since the experience has been documented to happen to anyone regardless of their cultural influences or upbringing. If you have heard the phrase "near death experience" but have only a vague notion of what this entails, I urge you to pick up this book and read it--if you keep an open mind, it could change your life :)

Simply put, the NDE may give us a preview of what happens to humans when we die. I first read this book around 1985 and found it both fascinating and enlightening. It is very straightforward and even-handed in it's reporting--without religious overtones from the author, although he does draw correlations between NDE's and their possible appearance in texts such as the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Bible & Greek philosophy. At the time of publication, Dr. Moody had only investigated about 150 cases total--since then, as the technology to resuscitate patients has improved, thousands more have experienced the NDE. The book also created an open dialogue about NDE's and many more who had kept the experience secret (for fear of being ridiculed) have come forward with their story.

If this book whet's your appetite for more on the subject (and much has been written about NDE's since) let me recommend a few more titles for continued reading:

The Light Beyond by Raymond Moody -- in my opinion, the best of his follow-up books on the subject.
On Life After Death by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D. -- One of the pioneers of NDE research & best known for defining "The 5 Stages of Grief & Dying." She & Moody were both studying NDE's at the same time without being aware of each other's research.
The Tunnel and The Light by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D. - Another collection of her writings & lectures on the subject of NDE's.

Although there are many more books on the subject (some by researchers, others by those who experienced an NDE firsthand) I always recommend these first as they are well-researched and, in my opinion, present the subject with the least amount of bias.

Trivial Treatment of a Complex Subject

September 25, 2018

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you are interested to learn how the near-death experience is the place where science and spiritualism meet, don't waste your time on this boring, pop-psychology book. Turn instead to "Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience" by former cardiologist Dr. Pim Von Lommel. He provides fascinating accounts of the near-death experience provided by patients in his scientific, longitudinal study, but that is only the beginning. Take your time, use your brain, and learn how quantum physics, Carl Jung, and the near-death experience are all tangled up in each other. Leave "Life After Life" on the shelf.

Some much needed enlightenment for a former skeptic

August 23, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Excellent book that uses a structured methodology in building a solid case for the afterlife. If this book changes you - it can only be for the better. I'm hooked on the NDE topic now after hearing Moody's reasearch. It's providing a lot of answers for me to modern questions that arise in all aspects of faith. These accounts pair well with all faiths in the fact that "love" should be at the root of everything we do during our lifetimes. Read only if you are ready to be awakened to the truth beyond this physical realm.

Makes you think

August 21, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book isn't proof of the after life. And I don't think that was Raymond Moody's intent was to offer irrefutable evidence of life after life, but for anyone who wants to hear stories from people who've had interesting experiences near death, they're told well in this book. As depressing as a book about death might seem, this book left me feeling positive and reignited my curiosity about the nature of our lives here. Maybe there is a life after life...

But I found it strange that everyone's personal experience was so pleasant. Seems like Raymond Moody is just telling us what we want to hear. 'Now now there's no need to worry.. Death isn't so bad" is almost what it feels like. I know I've heard about death experiences that weren't so pleasant. Why did Raymond Moody exclude the more negative experience?

Non the less, still a heartwarming and interesting book to read.

Sad. He is positive and as unbiased as any ...

March 23, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is one of the most life-changing books I've ever read. If you read all the reviews you'll find Dr. Moody has endured a lot of negative press from those who feel threatened by his findings. Sad. He is positive and as unbiased as any researcher could be. He basically discusses evidence showing there may be life after death from the point of a news reporter reporting on a collection of interviews where there's a common thread. That's as unbiased as it gets.
