On this riveting episode of Strange Planet, Harvard-trained neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander recounts his extraordinary near-death experience during a week-long coma in 2008. From encountering divine beings to unraveling the mysteries of consciousness, his journey challenges materialist science and redefines reality itself. Join us as Dr. Alexander explores the brain’s role as a filter for consciousness, the universal power of love, and why the afterlife might be more real than life. A mind-expanding conversation that could transform your view of existence. GUEST: Dr. Eben Alexander, a Harvard-trained neurosurgeon and bestselling author, bridges science and spirituality. His 2008 near-death experience during a coma, detailed in Proof of Heaven, revealed a vivid afterlife, upending his materialist worldview. With degrees from Duke and Harvard, he explores consciousness, quantum physics, and love’s universal role in books like Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven and Living in a Mindful Universe. Advocating a paradigm shift, he emphasizes the soul’s eternal nature and interconnectedness, inspiring millions to rethink life, death, and reality.
