This is the book by the neurosurgeon who came down with bacterial meningitis and was in a coma for seven days. He nearly died and recovery was about 20% for him. Most people die. However, he did recover and recovered without brain injury as well. During his coma, he had an unusual near-death experience. It wasn't the classic Christian version with God or Jesus or golden streets. It was a more secular humanist heaven where all seemed to be known and there was a loving God and a peace. It was very compelling.
He also goes into his background as having been adopted which figures into his story in a significant way. Today, he has a website and is going to do seminars about spirituality and heaven. He meditates daily and uses aural beats to try to continue to get in touch with his unforgettable experience.
Very interesting book to read.
