Lessons from the Light: What We Can Learn from the Near-Death Experience

While providing many accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs) from men, women, and children of all ages and backgrounds, Lessons from the Light is much more than just an inspiring collection of NDEs. In Lessons near-death expert Kenneth Ring extracts the pure gold of the NDE and with a beautiful balance of sound research and human insight reveals the practical wisdom held within these experiences. As Stanley Krippner states, "In this remarkable book, Ring presents evidence that merely learning about the near-death experience has similar positive effects to those reported by people who actually have had near-death experiences. Kenneth Ring is one of the few authors whose gifts include the capacity to transform their readers' lives."

Kenneth Ring, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Connecticut and co-founder and past president of the International Association for Near-Death Studies. Regarded as the "Dean of NDE Researchers," he is the founding editor of the Journal of Near-Death Studies and the author of several previous books on NDEs, including Life At Death, Heading Toward Omega, and The Omega Project, as well as the monograph, Near-Death and Out-of-Body Experiences in the Blind. Dr. Ring has appeared on hundreds of TV and radio programs, including The Larry King Show, Good Morning America, The Today Show, and many others. Professor Ring currently resides in Kentfield, California, near his natal city, San Francisco.
