Thanks).Best Selling Author of "Flipside" (#1 in its genre at Amazon twice!)"It's A Wonderful Further Adventures into the Flipside" takes a quantum leap forward into the afterlife, includes interviews with scientists discussing the source of consciousness, comparing near death experiences (NDE) with between life sessions (LBL), and includes interviews with people who claim to be speaking from the afterlife. There are a new between life sessions with astounding claims of contact with the afterlife, with experiencing God and understanding life's journey.Volume One includes a Foreword by Charles Grodin, interviews with scientists dealing with consciousness outside the brain; Mario Beauregard Neuroscientist ("Brain Wars") Dr. Bruce Greyson, the father of NDE research, the research of Dr. Helen Wambach along with that of Dr. Michael Newton ("Journey of Souls").

Finally there's some "conversations with people in the Afterlife" and wraps up with another of the author's own LBLs.The author explores his own unconventional journey to this research, and includes a between life session of his own. Interspersed throughout are transcripts of between life sessions with some very unusual folks who have clear memories not only of their previous lives, but of the between lives realm where they claim to have chosen their current lifetime. Extensively researched, breathtaking in scope, "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" takes the reader on a wild ride, across the yellow brick road, into the Great Beyond. Volume Two includes interviews with Robert Thurman, Gary Schwartz, Chaplain Savarna Wiley and others. Praise for "Flipside" "Richard has written a terrific book. Insightful, funny, provocative and deep; I highly recommend it!" Robert Thurman ("Why the Dalai Lama Matters") "Everyone should have a Richard Martini in their life."Charles Grodin ("Just When I Thought I'd Heard Everything!") "Inspiring, well written and entertaining. The kind of book where once you have read it, you will no longer be able to see the world in the same way again."Gary E. Schwartz PhD ("The Sacred Promise") “We viewed “Flipside” last night and were blown away about how good it is; the visuals were outstanding - the care taken in putting it all together really shows.”Michael Newton (“Journey of Souls”) (about the film version of “Flipside”)As one critic put it to him recently, "This book isn't just fantastic, it's profoundly fantastic."

Writer/Director/Author Richard is an award winning filmmaker, who has written and/or directed 8 theatrical features, and a number of documentaries. His first book, "Flipside: A Tourist's Guide on How to Navigate the Afterlife" went to #1 twice at Amazon in all its genres. The book is based on transcripts of a documentary he made which is available at Amazon (Flipside: A Journey Into the Afterlife) and Gaiam TV. His latest book is "It's a Wonderful Afterlife" volumes one and two where he expands the research into the afterlife from Michael Newton's work, to include interviews with a number of scientists in the field of consciousness, including Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dr. Mario Beauregard, and Gary Schwartz Phd. He also examines near death experiences and compares their accounts to similiar ones during between life sessions (the technique used by Michael Newton that allows people to access the between lives realm, or LBLs) and other examples (OBEs) where people may have lost their ability to think normally, but are having the same experiences.

Perhaps oe of the most up to date and well-researched books on NDEs and reincarnation. I especially enjoyed the discussion about the drift away from scientific materialism, the growing awareness that there is more going on around us than we can directly measure through our physical senses and instruments augmenting those senses. The personal anecdotes were interesting, as were the Hollywood references. But overall I enjoyed the case studies. Martini put a great deal of work into gathering the data from diverse sources and keeping it in perspectives. His conclusions at the end were also thought-provoking. Well done!

5-stars for the content. The author has stories and such exciting and important information to share. The writing is authentic and sincere. The reading maybe felt a little choppy, but I choose to see that as making the heart of the book more real. The book is not finessed for the market. It is the author's gift to the awakening and enlightenment ahead for us all. This is 1 of 2 in the series. I will read book 2 very soon.

I am very interested in reading about life between lives. I have read all of Michael Newton's books and this gives very similar information. I love that all of the subjects experiences are similar despite having different religions or living in different countries. He also quoted and talked about a couple of self proclaimed atheists which I found refreshing.

I think I should have read "Flipside" instead of this one. However, after reading this, I don't feel any need to read Flipside. Read Flipside first, or just watch one of Richard Martini's talks on YouTube and that will sum it all up in about 2 hours, instead of the amount of time it takes to read or listen to the book.

The first half of the book was a dry recital of facts and stories in an effort to counter the naysayers. Only the lady with Parkinson’s has an unusual trip. When we finally heard more of Richard Martini’s sessions and humor it became interesting.

Very helpful

I lost my daughter to a senseless unsolved murder on Oct.15th, 2016. Although I will never be okay I needed to hear she lives on.

A great collection of cases focused on NDEs and LBL sessions. If you enjoyed Flipside, this book will take you further down the path that Martini started.
