Dr. Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon who previously dismissed near-death experiences (NDEs) as mere brain fantasies, experienced a profound shift after a rare illness caused his brain to shut down. While in a coma for seven days, he had a near-death experience in which he encountered a divine presence and a deeper spiritual reality. This experience led him to revise his understanding of life, death, and spirituality, concluding that true health involves acknowledging the existence of God and the soul. Alexander's story challenges both scientific and religious perspectives and promises to profoundly impact readers.
