Dr Deepak Chopra, the world-famous pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine, addresses one of the fundamental questions of existence. Drawing upon personal experience, the wisdom of ancient Vedic philosophy & state-of-the-art particle physics, Chopra helps us to overcome our fears about dying & to consider the fantastic possibilities that may await us in the afterlife.

This is the book that Dr Chopra has been preparing to write his entire life. In it, he considers the theory that death is an illusion of the senses & that the soul survives in an ongoing spiral of refinement, ending in enlightenment. Thought-provoking exercises offer a first-hand experience of these & other ideas, helping you to make sense of your own spirituality whatever path you choose to follow, & offering you your very own map of eternity.

-What mid-life crisis means for you

As Britain's leading psychic medium, perhaps it's not surprising that more than 200, 000 people buy tickets every year to see Colin Fry's theatre tour up & down the country (and in New Zealand). It's also not surprising that his top-rating TV show, 6ixth Sense, is now in its 7th series & continues to hold an average of 100, 000 viewers per month. With such an enormous fan base, there is therefore huge interest in Colin Fry's first book, Life Before Death.

A compelling read, full of extraordinary stories from his life & work, it also investigates a theme which comes up time & again in his conversations with people who come to him for readings: how do you make the most of your time in this world. Colin Fry has a gift for being able to receive messages from souls in the spirit world. Remarkable, & fascinating as this is he feels strongly that the messages he receives should be used to help us maximise our life's potential. Life Before Death explains how he was able to develop his gift, & what being a psychic medium actually means. But it also gives advice on how to make better connections with your friends & family, how to be open to new things in life, how to both forgive & give more readily, & how to accept all that happens to you.
