It affected me as I was reading it, But as soon as I had finished it, I couldn't remember what had affected me about it. Perhaps it was too warm and comforting for its own good. (  ) stevedell | Oct 15, 2009 |  Very interesting reading. Very detailed and brings in so many differing strings of thought.Used with a readers discussion group here over 8 weeks, with much success and depth of discussion excellent.His use of language is very powerful.I loved this book. (  ) collsaccount | Sep 8, 2008 | This book is a fascinating introduction to Eastern thought on the afterlife. Chopra also incorporates theories of modern physics and biology that support Hindu traditions about what happens when we die. It's a far more interesting landscape than Western ideas of heaven and hell. I hope to learn more about Hinduism after reading this book. I had a hard time putting this one down.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307345785, Hardcover)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.
