Life after Life

Book • 1975

Originally published in 1975, 'Life After Life' is a qualitative study where Dr. Raymond Moody interviewed 150 people who had undergone near-death experiences (NDEs).

The book details common elements in NDEs, such as an overwhelming feeling of peace, being located outside one's physical body, floating through darkness or a tunnel, encountering a 'being of light,' and experiencing a rapid succession of visual images of one's past.

Moody's work neither rejects these experiences on scientific grounds nor sensationalizes them, offering a balanced and insightful look into the phenomenon of NDEs.

The book has sold over 13 million copies and has been translated into a dozen foreign languages, making it an international bestseller and a seminal work in the field of NDE studies.
