What happened to me while I was in a coma is the most important story I will ever tell. But it's a tricky story to tell because it is so foreign to ordinary understanding.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen prominent US neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander goes into a coma after contracting a severe brain infection, his doctors tell his family to prepare for the worst – death or, at best, survival in a vegetative state..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemarkably, Dr Alexander wakes up seven days later with his faculties intact. Just as extraordinary is his detailed recall of a near-death experience. Based on all that is known about how the brain works, Dr Alexander had no capacity, while in the coma, to create thought; his neocortex, the part of his brain that makes us human, had effectively shut down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo how was it that he awoke with a coherent and profound set of memories?. Near-death experiences have been well documented, but rarely with the kind of rigour and insight offered here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Alexander has spent his adult life unravelling the mysteries of the human brain through the prism of medical science. His personal story is a moving account of facing death, and a compelling case for the survival of consciousness beyond the demise of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr Eben Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43293447946409,"sku":"9781742612812","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/266064686e6c7a2640263e383942394f5b3e22244527565a453839393956.jpg?v=1697329057","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/proof-of-heaven-a-neurosurgeons-journey-into-the-afterlife","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
