Event Description:
Join Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein to discuss Bruce Greyson, MD’s After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal About Life and Beyond. In it, Dr. Greyson—a leading expert on near-death experiences—reveals his journey toward rethinking the nature of death, life, and the continuity of consciousness. He challenges us to consider what NDEs can teach us about the relationship between our brain and our mind, expanding our understanding of consciousness, and of what it means to be human.

About the Author:

• Dr. Bruce Greyson is a Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences, and the former director of The Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS), at the University of Virginia. He is also a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. During his research of near-death experiences, he has documented many accounts of near-death experiences, and has written many journal articles, as well as participated in media interviews on the subject, playing a crucial role in inviting broader cross-disciplinary scientific inquiry to the field. In addition to being the author of After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond (Macmillan, 2021), he is the co-author of Irreducible Mind: Toward a Psychology for the 21st Century (Rowman and Littlefield, 2007) and co-editor of The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation (Praeger, 2009).
