[André Morais]

Livro muito bom! Ele é até mais técnico do que eu pensava (parece que você está lendo um TCC), mas entrega o que se propõe: trazer de forma geral pesquisas sérias realizadas em casos de mediunidade, experiência de quase morte, e casos de crianças que alegam ser reencarnadas.

Há um conjunto robusto de evidências que corroboram essa tese.

Gosto muito do tema, mas não sei 5 estrelas por dois motivos:

1. Se prendem na maior parte do livro justificando os argumentos contraditórios à tese de sobrevivência da mente humana após a morte.

2. Acho que poderiam ter detalhado mais casos quantitativos de evidências positivas da sobrevivência. Acabam focando mais em exemplos e casos pontuais.

O melhor ensaio sobre a vida após a morte

Uma análise clara, simples, exaustiva e argumentativa que coloca Uma nova perspectiva sobre a vida após a Morte, principalmente para quem não está a par do tema

[Giovanni Gardinale]

You may not be interested in the afterlife, but the afterlife is interested in you :)

Excellent book, clear and concise. The scientific evidence presented is indeed overwhelming.
Strongly recommended!
