What happens when we die? Over the course of human history, more than 100 billion people have shuffled off this mortal coil, and yet we still have no definitive answer as to their ultimate fate. Religious leaders and outspoken atheists tell us they have the answers, but both want us to take their personal belief on faith. But what if there was another way forward?
Over the past 150 years, a small percentage of scientists have taken it upon themselves to investigate testimony given by the dying from their deathbeds, by patients who went as close to death as possible before returning to life, and from others who claim to be able to speak with the dead. At risk of ridicule and damage to their reputations within the academic community, these scientists have nevertheless reported on what they have found. 'Stop Worrying! There Probably is an Afterlife' gives readers a comprehensive overview of this research, and as you'll see there is no shortage of hints and suggestions that some part of us does continue on after the physical death of our body.
For too long we've worried and fretted about death, and relied on others to tell us the answer to the ultimate question of life – what happens when it ends. 'Stop Worrying! There Probably is an Afterlife' puts the power back in your hands, helping you to put your concerns to the side and got on with the important part of life: living.

"A balanced, beautifully written and thoroughly researched aspect of death and dying that rarely sees the light of day. Not since Raymond Moody's book 'Life after Life' have I read anything as fascinating and as interesting... not only opens readers to the mystery of death but also goes a long way to dispelling some of the fear of dying." - Palliative care physician Michael Barbato
