Excellent

Excellent job by narrator. Extremely enlightening and informative information provided from Deepak Chopra. I bought this download after the death of my brother to use as a tool to help me develope and get a better understanding of my own beliefs on what happens to the soul after it leaves the human body. It was a good decision and great buy, for sure.

Deepak's a Master - and a HUGE help to me

I used to buy Deepak's paper-bound books until my eyes became so problematic that Audible became a real life-saver. Bless 'em for always carrying such a fine selection, of which this book is a serious stand-out, it's so well written, has so much to express and brought answers to me at a time I desperately need them, as I willl be finding out for myself soon what life holds after death. As anyone can imagine, I had questions, even with a solid and comfortable orthodox Jewish religion supporting me. Perhaps the nicest part is that Deepak never steps on toes, never calls into question a different belief's tenents or dogma. I suppose the best referrel I can give this wonderful book is that, while toward the end -- it did give me some things to think about, it also left me comforted and in full belief that there is, indeed, existence after death, and along with an old friend "Seth", the spiritual enitity channeled by Jane Roberts in the 70's, intimates that, at least at first, the afterlife looks about the way we either expect it to look, or desire it to. With the exception of those poor souls looking forward to a "hell", or expecting 47 virgin girls as a reward for murdering Jews, the rest of us may be able to expect a restful period where we can collect our thoughts, rexamine our lives and perhaps make plans for the next. Meeting Abraham or Mose, or Jesus or whomever would also seem to be in the realm of possibility, although Deepak didn't elaborate on the religious aspects, as can be expected - nor would I have wanted him to. He's just one of our most gifted authors and a force in my life. I don't see how anyone with an open mind and a real desire to listen to lovely possibilities that sound of pure logic, and in any case are backed up by loads of research could not enjoy this book. The narrator did a fine job, though I prefer Deepak's voice, myself. I trust no other author, (other than G-d) more than Deepak Chopra -- even with my life; and death. DALevit

Life After...

I felt that Chopra dealt with an incredibly difficult topic with grace and ease. His writing was flawless, straight-forward and elegant at the same time. Well worth it.

Inspired discussion of death meaning

An amazing book. Very well written and beautiful language used throughout.The ideas expressed were not dramatically new to me but it was so well expressed. I was member of a book discussion group that used this as it's theme last year and it was very viable for this use. So many varied concepts ON every page. Highly recommend this book...colleen

A Big Picture distillation of continuing existence

Very enjoyable narration. I loved the slight accent of the narrator, clear and intelligent voice, and especially his switching to various "American" accents when reading people's experiences being quoted. The best part was when he did the parrot's voice. Very fun.

Deepak Chopra and Tom Campbell (My Big TOE) have a lot in common. There were many times throughout this audio book that I recognized they were saying the same thing, but just using different words

With regard to the negative reviews I read before purchasing this book, I feel that those people would have probably enjoyed the books that tell individual stories of NDE, OBE, or Life Between Lives and that this book is more enjoyable for those of us who have read many of those books already, and now this is more a contemplation of the forest rather than a look at each tree.

Especially enjoyable were the recent works by other authors and researchers discussed, showing that Deepak Chopra is in touch with current lines of thought and considers and distills information and discusses the significance. Too often I have read books and listened to talks by authors and researchers and when they are asked about others doing similar work they have no idea who the other person is and what they have accomplished. In a way, that is good so their work is only theirs, but what a shame that these people who have so much in common have never met. It is delightful how Deepak Chopra ties ideas together, and also gives credit and shines a light on others' work too.

Perfect sense. Illuminating!

Comforting and lasting awareness through both story and documented scientific studies. The last few chapters particularly enriched my life view. The confusion and burden of doubts that led me to find this book are entirely lifted. I feel blessed to have found this book and will return to it again and again, no doubt; for it's richness is many layered.
