Near-Death Experiences

EPISODE OVERVIEW:

Dr. Partha Nandi, MD, dives into the fascinating world of the afterlife, exploring whether near-death experiences (NDEs) are real and uncovering the science behind them. Joining him is Dr. Eben Alexander, a renowned neurosurgeon and author of the New York Times bestseller Proof of Heaven. Dr. Alexander shares the profound details of his own life-changing NDE, which occurred during a 7-day coma caused by a mysterious brain infection. Once a skeptic, he now firmly believes in the spiritual realm. Adding a different perspective is Dr. Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic Magazine and author of The Believing Brain, who explains the science behind NDEs and why we believe what we do.
