Leslie Kean’s impeccably researched, page-turning investigation, revealing stunning and wide-ranging evidence suggests that consciousness survives death. In her groundbreaking second book, she continues her examination of unexplained phenomena that began with her New York Times bestseller UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record.

Kean explores the most compelling case studies of young children reporting verifiable details from past lives, contemporary mediums who seem to defy the boundaries of the brain and of the physical world, apparitions providing information about their lives on earth, and people who die and then come back to report journeys into another dimension. Based on facts and scientific studies as well as her own experiences, Surviving Death includes fascinating chapters by medical doctors, psychiatrists, and PhDs from four countries to probe the question: Do we survive death?

Reviews

“Examining evidence of extra-mortal existence with the critical eye of a seasoned reporter, journalist Kean demonstrates that such phenomena merit serious study.”

“A wonderful—and clarifying—opportunity to have someone with the reportorial skills and integrity of Leslie Kean explore the trouble-fraught subject of life after death.”

“Kean has synthesized data from both a wide variety of credible sources and from her own exploration of seemingly unexplainable personal observations…I urge everyone to read Surviving Death, engage in their own quest, and decide for themselves.”

“With a keen eye and a no-nonsense approach…Kean lets the evidence speak for itself…An engaging, personal, and transformative journey that challenges the skeptic and informs us all.”

“Astounding!…Leslie Kean is our Orpheus, descending into the Netherworld to grapple with the most ancient of mysteries and return with inspiring evidence.”

“A thoughtful and at times startling exploration of the afterlife…A refreshingly careful and candid review.”
