In My Time of Dying
How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife
Ratings12
Average rating4
Told in two parts essentially, part one is a thought provoking exploration of author Sebastian Junger's close call with death, and either a unique glimpse into the afterlife, or the imaginings of his dying brain.
The second part describes Mr Junger's pursuit to understand what happened, what it might mean for each of us to be alive and then to not be alive, and how the universe accounts for it all. Spoiler: nothing is decided, but many interesting facts are explained that may impact that meaning. Food for thought.

Very approachable, interesting read. Book feels like nothing more than a real man sharing his real experiences. No present bias, just observation. Would definitely recommend.
