Title: Fruitless exercise
Product review: The author writes two chapters trying to explain the phenomena associated with near death experiences through brain oxygen starvation and the "dying eyes". Doing so, he fails to give a convincing explanation to the near death experiences. Read for instance Susan Blacmore's "Dying to Live"For the rest of the chapters ( the majority of the book ) he searches for an inexistent soul, reaching the conclusion that the brain is the vehicle of the mind, and not the soul...Even so,his demonstration is based upon the functions of the motor cortex, ignoring that it is conscience that gives the movement order. And where is consciousness? You have to look in some other book.Finally, he lets us know wich kinds of deaths there are ( the good, the bad, the so and so ) and how we'll feel death. Thanks man, but I don't like to think about my death. I get depressed.To make things short, this book isn't worth the effort to read it.
