About This Episode
Neurosurgeon and bestselling author Dr. Eben Alexander never believed in life after death until he got a look behind the curtain when he experienced a near-death experience and came back to tell his story.
When I came across his book while working through my own grief, I was blown away by the hope it instilled in me.
Let his journey inspire you to look at death and what comes after from a new perspective.
