All in all, I am not disappointed in "Life After Life." The biggest knock against it is that, by luck of the draw, I had previously read a very similar book. This differs from "Evidence of the Afterlife," because it contained very few, if any, negative NDEs that I can recall.

These were pretty uniformly described as being negative experiences for the person who took their life, but ended up surviving the event. The other topic that was more interesting to me was a somewhat more in-depth look at NDEs of people who had committed suicide. While interesting, this discussion was short and on the lite side. Missing from the discussion, however, was DMT, often described as the spirit molecule. A few other topics were also discussed that were not included in "Evidence of the Afterlife." One was on hallucinatory drugs, such as peyote. Once again, showing that the ancients had a higher degree of knowledge and wisdom than we care to give them credit for. Of those texts mentioned, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, in my opinion, read so much like an NDE that one could attribute parts of it to someone that had nearly died during a car wreck in 1992, and it would hardly raise an eyebrow among those familiar with NDE experiences.

Among those texts were, The Bible, selected writings of Plato, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, and Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher and scientist from the late 1600s who also wrote about the subject of the afterlife. Where "Life After Life," shined, however, was a section on comparing modern NDEs to some ancient texts. It should be noted that with "Life After Life" being published long before "Evidence of the Afterlife," the cases compiled by the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) are almost identical, making the two books very complimentary to each other. This is in contrast to "Evidence of the Afterlife," which compiled a large number of cases from all over the world through use of the Internet. Moody says the number of cases he compiled is not high enough for deep statistical analysis. "Life After Life," like "Evidence of the Afterlife," attempts to put together some rudimentary statistics and find common elements of NDEs (Near Death Experiences). I was pleasantly surprised, however, when it went off in a few unexpected directions. Moody's book was like reading something I had already read before. Having read "Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences,"by Jeffrey Long and Paul Perry, before "Life After Life," at first I thought Dr. Interesting book on the Near Death Experience
