I was intrigued by what this book could offer. I lost my father to cancer a couple of years ago and have struggled even more with the idea of heaven. I am always curious as to how other people view life after death.

The first half of the book was interesting. It actually gave words to my feelings & thoughts. With that being said it was extremely repetitive. He could have written that portion in less than half the text he did.

Like other reviews I have seen I also believe it was condescending to Western theology & beliefs. I would not classify myself as a true Christian nor do I think some of those beliefs make sense but I do respect people's faith. I did not feel a sense of respect in this book.

The second half of the book read like a medical students introduction to neurology. It was mind numbing. I tried to tough it out but had to just give it up when I was 80% complete. I did not feel the last 20% was worth my time.

I love Deepak Chopra's work but I would not recommend this book. If you feel like you need it then just stop when you get to the second half.

This book isn't about the afterlife? It's mostly about consciousness. Also, so much pseudoscience! And just because people wrote something down a long time ago that is still being followed, doesn't mean it's true.

I picked up this book while browsing the stacks at the library, and I'm so glad I did. There is profound wisdom found here. This is a book I plan to read again, and take even more away from it each time.

I like listening to Deepak Chopra so I had high hopes in reading this book. I felt the book was somewhat superficial... like "Chopra Light". Perhaps this won't be so for others but it did not speak to me.

This is a mind opener book. I'm not sure I agree to all that being presented but I do find them fascinating. Deepak Chopra did a good job of blending the Western ideas and the Eastern folklore in this book. It certainly shifted my mind in matters pertaining to the death and the afterlife.

In this book, Deepak is at his most inscrutable, mixing eastern religious philosophy, NDE anecdotes, and his own patented blend conciousness/quantum jargon. I gauge my enjoyment of a book like this on how much discussion it generates. But after reading each chapter, I found that I had very little to share with anybody because I had very little comprehension about what I had just read.
It is a difficult read, and there are definitely better books out there that focus on NDEs. This makes the 'notes' section of this book the most valuable part. There Deepak directs you to his sources where you can find more interesting reads than the one he offers here.

Chopra does an amazing job in blending the beliefs of life and death from the Eastern and Western Hemisphere. He puts great significance on the role consciousness plays within our life’s journey and how death is only a next step we must take in our journey. Chopra shows how strong open mindedness and the development of your perspective will influence not only the life you are currently living but the aftermath as well.

It was OK...

A vida depois da morte é um livro que convida à abertra da nossa mente.
Entre o conto e as provas científicas, Chopra leva-nos a uma reflexão sobre a aceitação de deixar passar a vida por nós sem medo.
Um excelente livro para quem procura respostas, mas aceita que a mente não se foque só em perguntas.

3.5

A good book to get rid of your fear of death(if you have one)!

One of the most elaborate books about the subject of life after death , although I am a Muslim I found it very informing and giving insights about other beliefs , it makes you see the whole picture in a convincing ..somewhat ..way
Enjoyed it v much
