Using a Hindu folk tale about death as a springboard, Chopra examines issues related to Near Death Experiences, Reincarnation, Remote Viewing, ESP and many more by examining the areas in which Science and the Vedic Tradition merge. This book is enjoyable to read, but requires a little time to digest. Although written from a Hindu perspective, Chopra takes the time to discuss other spiritual traditions, including Christianity and Buddhism.
Probably, the best part of the book is the stories. The Indian tale of Sativri, who doesn't want Yama (death) to take her husband, is an underlying theme as Deepak tells it in segments throughout the book. Mellen-Thomas Benedict's hour and a half near-death experience was another highlight. His journey to the other side was a very unique experience, even among NDE's. Another story on reincarnation told of a boy who was obsessed with fighter planes from WWII. He told his parents he died in Iwo Jima, giving them names and dates, which were all corroborated.
