Deepak Chopra has touched millions of readers by demystifying our deepest spiritual concerns while retaining their poetry and wonder. Now he turns to the most profound mystery: What happens after we die? Is this one question we were not meant to answer, a riddle whose solution the universe keeps to itself? Chopra tells us there is abundant evidence that "the world beyond" is not separated from this world by an impassable wall; in fact, a single reality embraces all worlds, all times and places. At the end of our lives we "cross over" into a new phase of the same soul journey we are on right this minute. In Life After Death, Chopra draws on cutting-edge scientific discoveries and the great wisdom traditions to provide a map of the afterlife. It's a fascinating journey into many levels of consciousness. But far more important is his urgent message: Who you meet in the afterlife and what you experience there reflect your present beliefs, expectations, and level of awareness. In the here and now you can shape what happens after you die. By bringing the afterlife into the present moment, Life After Death opens up an immense new area of creativity. Ultimately there is no division between life and death--there is only one continuous creative project. Chopra invites us to become cocreators in this subtle realm, and as we come to understand the one reality, we shed our irrational fears and step into a numinous sense of wonder and personal power.

Interesting:
Life After Death: The Burden of Proof by Deepak Chopra is a India concept of death unlike how we perceive death in the west. Death for them is merely a brief stopping off point for their soul. She tries to explain what happens to us after we die. To her death is miraculous and just a doorway to far more important events. It an interesting concept and may be a little out there for most westerners. I enjoyed it.

Still reading it, but with diminshed expectations:
A more convoluted explanation I could not imagine. I am more than half way through the book; I have read no science, no proof. It's just an interesting different cultural view. I can't imagine that I'll know any more than before except I will understand some Indian mythology and mysticism. I am very disappointed.
Wonderful Book -- Filled with Wisdon:
Love from Both Sides: A True Story of Soul Survival and Sacred Sexuality I'm a writer and working hypnotherapist. Seven years ago yesterday, my husband died in my arms and then "came back" to me, and that's the story my own book tells. "Life After Death," Deepak Chopra's wonderfully wise book echoes and expands on my own personal experience. "The afterlife," he says, "is not a mystery to be solved. It's an opportunity to expand life beyond boundaries." If you're reading this review, it might be because... more info
Exceptionally Rewarding Discussion on the Afterlife *:
Chopra offers a compelling book complete with two distinct sections; Life After Death, and The Burden of Proof. The first half deals with Chopra's feelings regarding the spiritual afterlife based on his research of both western and eastern religions. The second section changes gears entirely with a scientific and logical analysis of what occurs after the physical body expires. The two sections are quite dissimilar and my positive rating is only geared toward the second segment. The Life After Death... more info
