"Surviving Deathis athoughtful and at times startling exploration of the afterlife.As a skeptical journalist, Leslie Kean is uniquely equipped to examine and evaluate the evidence for survival of consciousness. After encountering a rash of impossible facts and startling personal experiences, her conclusion isunequivocal: We are woefully ignorant of what happens after death, but it is very likely thatsomethinginterestinghappens rather than nothing. A refreshingly careful and candid review."Dean Radin, PhD, author ofSupernormalandThe Conscious Universe

"In addressing the most important question facing all of us, Kean has synthesized data from both a wide variety of credible sources and from her own exploration of seemingly unexplainable personal observations. Afterdecades of research into this topic, I believe the preponderance of the evidence indicates that we survive death. But far more important is that I urge everyone to readSurviving Death, engage in their own quest, anddecide for themselves." John B.
