Though I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I am not quite convinced yet that we are more than brain function and that something that we regard as soul or consciousness will continue in some form or another after our death. But at the same time, I am highly intrigued by deathbed visions and coincidences and not really sure how to account for them. I have to admit that I found the accounts of NDEs less convincing, maybe because I read more on the subject previously. I actually reread a chapter on this phenomenon from Heavens on Earth by Michael Shermer and I found his explanation on what happens during NDEs a lot more convincing.
What I liked the most about the book is the message to keep our mind open, to study and research the phenomena of death bed visions and coincidences and to prepare for death in the meaningful way. I also thought that the authors explanation on what it means to die a good death was a very strong and inspiring one. I even wrote on the blank pages provided what it means to me to die a good death. Also, I agree with the authors that the subject of death should not be a taboo.
Unfortunately, I experienced a great loss in my life that ultimately changed my attitude towards death. Death doesn't scare me, life does.
That being said, I did like the book a lot and I highly recommend it.
