Lanza brings personal grief to his argument about consciousness beyond death. The book explores a contested interpretation of physics and biology, rather than an established scientific consensus.
About the book
Following his sister’s death, physician Robert Lanza considers whether consciousness ends with the body. Combining personal losses with his interpretation of developments in physics and biology, he argues for persistence beyond death. The book presents his case for that position rather than an established scientific consensus.
