Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. Neurosurgeon Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress. Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back. Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere.

Would you listen to Proof of Heaven again? Why?
Yes. I'm always looking to better understand the unavoidable fate that awaits us all. I like the concept of heaven, and find a book like this somewhat reassuring and comforting.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Proof of Heaven?
When Eben saw a picture of his previously unknown , deceased sister... whom he unknowingly met, as his guide in heaven.
What does Eben Alexander bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I always like when an author reads his/her own book... I feel a closer connection to the author.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but I always listen on my commute to/from work.
Any additional comments?
Great book... really enjoyed it.
