Klappentext

This provocative international bestseller follows the trail blazed by Raymond Moody's Life After Life, revealing what happens after we die, weaving first-hand experience with emerging scientific discoveries.

Death does not exist.

When we die, we don’t stop living. We change worlds.

What happens when we die? What happens to our consciousness? Does it outlive brain death? Those pressing and eternal questions overwhelmed French journalist Stéphane Allix when his brother passed away. So he decided to mobilize all of his skills and instincts as a journalist in an attempt to shed light on the mystery of our consciousness.

Written as a letter to his fifteen-year-old daughter in an attempt to explain her uncle's untimely death and its impact on his own understanding of reality, Death Does Not Exist weaves scientific breakthroughs with tales of the countless unexplained phenomena related to death (near-death experiences, extra-sensory perception) and personal experiences including a shamanic quest. This grand adventure leads toward inspiring revelations about the nature of the soul, suggesting that our consciousness has a spiritual dimension.

Death Does Not Exist is at once a forward-thinking assessment about recent discoveries and a truly inspiring personal story, offering comforting reassurance discovered over the course of Allix's journey to the farthest reaches of life.
