A book by a neuro surgeon following a devastating meningitis E-coli that should have left him dead at best, or completely 'légumisé at worst. It is perfectly restored, has lost none of its capacity and experienced an NDE that transformed his understanding of the nature of reality. Besides the story that is captivating, the major interest, I think, is that Eben Alexander was a materialist and skeptical neurosurgeon principle. This experience and his solid scientific knowledge enable him to refute one by one the arguments of scientists and pseudo-scientists greatly contributes to a serious and thorough research of the mind and its non-locality. I want this book to be rapidly translated into French to reach an even larger audience.
