Review
"Astounding! With her usual scientific precision and insatiable curiosity, Leslie Kean is our Orpheus, descending into the Netherworld to grapple with the most ancient of mysteries and return with inspiring evidence -- death shall have no dominion." —Ralph Blumenthal, investigative reporter, author of Miracle at Sing Sing"With a keen eye and a no-nonsense approach, investigative journalist Leslie Kean explores what the actual data tells us about the question of survival past death. Examining many phenomena and case studies with penetrating depth and insight, Kean lets the evidence speak for itself. She takes us on an engaging, personal, and transformative journey that challenges the skeptic and informs us all." —Harold E. Puthoff, Ph.D., Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin"Surviving Death is a thoughtful and at times startling exploration of the afterlife. As a skeptical journalist, Leslie Kean is uniquely equipped to examine and evaluate the evidence for survival of consciousness. After encountering a rash of impossible facts and startling personal experiences, her conclusion is unequivocal: We are woefully ignorant of what happens after death, but it is very likely that something interesting happens rather than nothing. A refreshingly careful and candid review." —Dean Radin, PhD, author of Supernormal and The Conscious Universe"In addressing the most important question facing all of us, Kean has synthesized data from both a wide variety of credible sources and from her own exploration of seemingly unexplainable personal observations. After decades of research into this topic, I believe the preponderance of the evidence indicates that we survive death. But far more important is that I urge everyone to read Surviving Death, engage in their own quest, and decide for themselves." —John B. Alexander, PhD, Colonel USA Ret., author of Future War and UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities"What 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. A quiet revolution is brewing today in the intellectual treatment of paranormal topics; Kean and this book are at the center of it." —Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America and One Simple Idea

This is the best book I've read about the subject of life after physical death, and I have read scores of them. It is both scholarly and personal. I knew this would be a well-written and well-researched book but I never imagined the depth it would contain. This book covers it all from reincarnation to near-death experiences to physical mediumship in a very engaging and humanistic way. Uncovering solid evidence for survival is one thing but how we handle this information intellectually and emotionally is another important aspect that the author addresses throughout the book.
I loved this book and couldn't put it down (I finished it in days and ended up buying it in Kindle format as well as hardcover so I could read it in bed at night :)! I enjoyed the format, with Leslie Kean's writing and guest writers interspersed, and I really appreciated the personal experiences she shared, especially regarding physical mediumship. I honestly thought that physical mediumship was all faked in the late 1800s. I had no idea this was real, physically proven phenomena. I've read several books on survival after death, past lives, etc., but her book truly offered fresh insights and scientifically-based evidence for the survival of consciousness after physical death. I applaud Ms. Kean for adding serious and thoughtful insight and scientific research to this field of study.
Having lost my wife almost a year ago to cancer after 46 years of shear joy was the most devastating experience I've ever encountered. We had both been in religious life as nun and monk (not at the same time) and had bonded so very perfectly as to be experienced as a tremendous gift from a loving God. The separation brought about by her death was tortuous and I've gone on looking for respite from the emptiness experienced at the ripe age of 79. I've been getting gradually better and then I came across this book at the local library.I found it extremely uplifting firming up my experience and being able to smile once again seeing how others have handled their losses. The deep feeling of my loved one's presence was felt fairly quickly and has carried me on to deeper acceptance and finally to actual joy that Bonnie's suffering was over. Even though I had felt that (like the end to Les Miserables) it seemed too soon to say goodby, it was the right thing.I only had one problem with the book and that was the inclusion of stories of mediums toward the end of the book. I think this section would have been better as a separate entity..
The author seems - for the most part - to treat the material in an even-handed manner. In the process, she raises some extremely provocative questions that I feel should not be disregarded.The book can be tedious at times, and the portions dealing with mediums and alleged after-death communication were challenging. The latter part of the book where the author speaks about what she claims she experienced during seances is the hardest segment for me to get my head around. I was not there, so I cannot say what happened, but the descriptions of what took place sound quite hard to comprehend, and I am reminded of the biblical admonition not to "call up the dead."Still, while allowing for other possibilities, the author makes a reasonably compelling case that our consciousness is unlikely to be strictly a product of the brain, and may well survive bodily death in some form or fashion. Science cannot precisely define what, exactly, consciousness is, and therefore cannot assert with any certainty that it is purely a biological function. While we cannot assume that the alleged evidence for life after death "must" be paranormal or conclusive, neither can we assume that their must be a rational explanation and we just have not found it yet.Yes, I concede that people want to believe in life after death (I know I do), but wanting to believe it does not automatically mean it is not true, or render all the evidence insignificant. Surely there are also those who just as passionately do NOT want to believe (some of whom seem to pop up repeatedly whenever books like this are reviewed). Cannot let the ignorant, fearful, unwashed masses think there may be any hope beyond this life, you know.In any case, incidents take place in our world that challenge what we assume is real or true, however much we may be tempted to ignore or dismiss them. We hit the intellectual default button and respond that there has to be a simple answer. Maybe. Maybe not.Sometimes we are offered ostensibly plausible explanations that are really highly implausible if one looks at all aspects of the situation. We ought not to readily accept any answer- no matter how absurd - just because it denies the paranormal.What it all means is an entirely different question. However, at the very least, it certainly seems reasonable to conclude that naturalistic science alone is inadequate to explain everything that happens in our our universe.In my estimation, "I don't know" is the most sensible position on many of these questions.
A fascinating book, well researched and written, but as I read it I was in turn uplifted and thrown into depression. The evidence for reincarnation was exciting, but less so when it appears that not everyone is reincarnated. Perhaps that is just as well, as reincarnates seem to be obsessed with displaying the traumas and wounds of a previous life. I've never experienced anything unequivocally paranormal and must assume I'm not one of the elect. That disappointed me, but as I read on I discovered that reincarnation is less likely. We are told that people reincarnate fairly quickly after a previous life, but what are we to make of the legions of dis-incarnates who seem to spend their time dipping hands in wax or moving tables or uttering vague messages for people in seances? They have been dead for a long time but do not seem to be moving on. If that is my ultimate fate I want nothing to do with it. The image I now have of the afterlife is a grey world of stultifying boredom where the only moments of interest are mouthing vague phrases to distressed relatives in darkened rooms. But perhaps this is hell and we are all destined to go there.
