"After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond" by Dr. Bruce Greyson https://books.apple.com/us/book/after/id1521273820 This episode of The Oprah Podcast features Dr. Bruce Greyson, one of the world's leading experts on near death experiences. As a scientist and physician, Dr. Greyson has been studying these fascinating phenomena for decades. He and Oprah dive deep into near death encounters and speak with people who have undergone their own transformative episodes, including Oscar nominated actor Jeremy Renner, who described his event as harrowing but also exhilaratingly peaceful. Their stories reveal striking similarities and shed light on how facing death transformed their understanding of not only life, but what comes after. Most people come away from a near death experience with an expanded view of consciousness and consider the possibility that death might not be the end. As Dr. Greyson explains, this “knowing” has caused people around the world to reexamine their own life's journey and view death as nothing to fear.

Hi there, everybody, and thanks so much for joining me here on the Oprah Podcast and for watching us on YouTube, which is the place to watch everything now I hear. Billions of people all over the world are watching so many things, and I'm so glad you've joined us here. Here's a question. Have you ever wondered what happens after we die?
I think if you live long enough, you actually start asking yourself that question. And I know we all have different beliefs on what lies beyond. And for some, they believe there is no beyond. We're asking today, what if science could help illuminate the mystery? What if science could do that? Okay. So I have always been fascinated by near-death experiences.
I did more than 20 episodes of The Oprah Winfrey Show talking with people who had died and come back to life to tell a story of an otherworldly experience.
When my guests this morning have either been pronounced clinically dead or have suffered severe trauma after being revived, they tell incredible stories of their near-death experiences. Stories they believe are proof of an afterlife.
I was deeply impacted by every time I heard these stories. And over the years, I noticed that there were so many similarities in their stories that... It actually got me wondering, there must be something to this, right? So I'm excited to welcome Dr. Bruce Grayson to the Tea House.
