Episode notes

In this chapter, the speakers discuss near-death experiences and how they can affect people's attitudes towards life. They explore the changes in personality and priorities that individuals may experience after a near-death experience and how it can strain relationships. The chapter also touches on the impact of near-death experiences on people's attitudes towards suicide and the difference between spirituality and religion.

Tunnels of light. Unconditional love. Visions of dead aunts. And a lot of questions. What happens when you die… or almost die? GOOD QUESTION. Dr. Bruce Greyson chats about about brain activity during death, accounts from patients, out of body experiments, time dilation, the Swiss Alps, deathbed visions, accidental morgue visits, neurotransmitters, party drugs, religion vs. spirituality, and what matters most in life. As a world-renowned and respected psychiatrist and neurobiologist, he’s sought out answers for four decades and shares what we know – and don’t know – about the border of alive and unalive. Get out your phone and some scissors because it’s a real crush-texter & bang-cutter of an episode.
