Super Short Summary

In Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey Into the Afterlife, Eben Alexander recounts his extraordinary experiences while in a seven-day coma due to a rare form of bacterial meningitis in 2008. During his coma, he claims to have encountered a spiritual realm, meeting a "beautiful girl" who guided him to an "all-loving God" and his deceased birth sister. Using his medical background, Alexander argues that his vivid experiences suggest that consciousness exists independently of the brain, pointing toward the possibility of an afterlife.
