The Search for Heaven: A historian investigates the case for the afterlife

Meer over het boek

In "The Search for Heaven," historian and social scientist Dr. Jean-Pierre Isbouts sets out to create an operational model of the afterlife, drawing from electromagnetic energy, quantum physics, neuroscience, philosophy, Asian health practices, near-death experiences, ancient traditions, and psychic observations. Written in the highly accessible style that made him a bestselling National Geographic author, and with a near-encyclopedic command of the material, Dr. Isbouts guides the reader step by step through the evidence, culminating in an actual tour through the "spiritual universe"-which, he argues, is actually our home base from where we came, and to which we will return. In the last chapter, he compares this afterlife model to Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Buddhists concepts of heaven. His conclusion is that religious concepts have much more in common than we realize, including the belief in the "proximity to the Source of all life." Immersive, witty, and illustrated with astonishing observations by the renowned British psychic Susan Dunderdale Jones, "The Search for Heaven" is the first modern attempt to produce a scientific reconstruction of the afterlife that may sway even the staunchest reductionist skeptics.
