DR. EBEN ALEXANDER:
“Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s
Journey to the Afterlife”
During 25 years as an academic surgeon, Dr. Alexander thought he had a very good idea of how the brain generates consciousness, mind and spirit. But in 2008 he was driven into a coma by a rare illness, waking a week later with memories of an odyssey deep into another realm. His New York Times bestseller, Proof of Heaven, draws on the discoveries he made during his miraculous medical recovery, and offers a new argument for the existence of the soul after death.
