In this book, Dr. Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon with 25 years of experience, a professor who taught at Harvard Medical School and other major American universities, shares with the reader his impressions of his journey to the next world. His case is unique. Stricken by a sudden and unexplained form of bacterial meningitis, he miraculously recovered after a seven-day coma. A highly educated physician with extensive practical experience, who previously not only did not believe in the afterlife, but also did not allow the thought of it, experienced the transfer of his “I” to the higher worlds and there encountered such amazing phenomena and revelations that, upon returning to earthly life, , considered it his duty as a scientist and healer to tell the whole world about them.
