Summary of Raymond Moody's Life After Life

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 It is difficult to talk about death, as it is a subject that is taboo for most people. We often compare death to pleasant things in our experience, things with which we are familiar.

#2 The sleeping and forgetting analogy is inadequate to explain death. If death is like sleeping and forgetting, then death is a positive experience in life. But if waking follows sleeping, the benefits of sleeping are not possible.

#3 I have encountered a large number of people who were involved in what I call near-death experiences. These are experiences where a person is close to death, and may even feel like they are dead, but still manages to recover.

#4 I have collected a large number of reports of this phenomenon, and I have found that they are extremely similar. The experiences fall into three categories: those of people who were resuscitated after having been thought, adjudged, or pronounced clinically dead by their doctors, those of people who were close to death, and those of people who died and told others about their experiences.
