Extensive studies and numerous research works suggest that about one in ten Europeans has had a near-death experience or a similar event. An experience that is existentially touching and profoundly formative. With this book by Ditta op den Dries, a study is presented for the first time that thoroughly examines the fundamental transformations that occur in people who have undergone such a boundary experience. It reveals how radically life management changes in such cases. This work also convincingly demonstrates that the near-death experience is an encounter with reality and not a biochemical change in the brain. Only a true experience of the other side can trigger such a profound transformation in a person, as described by those affected in their conversations with Ditta op den Dries.
