Inside Impressions of Near-Death Experiences

Research shows conclusively that NDEs share a number of defining characteristics. But these characteristics aren’t always described to the public in an easily understood way. And that’s where Impressions of Near-Death Experiences truly excels.
One of the strengths of Impressions is its balance of accessibility and insight. Coppes avoids heavy academic jargon, allowing the voices of experiencers to take center stage while still presenting a thoughtfully organized exploration of shared NDE themes.
