Despite the slightly vague title, this is most definitely a book about the survival of consciousness after death. The author is a consultant psychiatrist who qualified at St Thomas’s Hospital in London. He learned a lot about the other side through the practice of Spirit Release Therapy, which he developed, and it made him firmly convinced that there is a life after death. His book covers the entire spectrum, from near-death experience and spirit communication through mediums to hypnotic regression and astral projection. The book is of course uplifting because it gives meaning to life and a positivity around our continued human development beyond death. The text isn’t dense and academic and it’s full of stories both from the history books and from the author’s own experience.
