“An original treatment of the subject, as wide-ranging in thought and feeling as it is rigorous and scholarly. Heartily recommended.” ~ Michael Grosso, Journal of Scientific Exploration.
“This fine new book by Gregory Shushan encapsulates his decades of painstaking ethnohistorical research on NDEs and various related phenomena, spanning a remarkable range of cultures and times. Strongly recommended!” ~ Edward F. Kelly, co-editor of Irreducible Mind, Beyond Physicalism.
“What a breathtaking tour of the expanse of human experience! It left me with a sense of wonder and admiration.” ~ Zofie Weaver, author of Other Realities? The Enigma of Franek Kluski’s Mediumship.
“Both academically accurate and highly entertaining, a remarkable combination. A brilliant book – fun to read!”
~ James McClenon, Ph.D, author of Wondrous Healing: Shamanism, Human Evolution.
"An extremely readable book, always balanced in tone and authoritative. The Next World is set to become a key item in the library of anyone seriously interested in religion and the big questions of individual survival and the purpose of life. A good read and I was reluctant to put it down!” ~
