Lessons to be learned about living from those who have undergone near-death experiences.

Using near-death experiences as a springboard into an in-depth discussion of five key areas of awareness, this guide explains how to recognize and demystify these seemingly inexplicable events. Readers are shown how to properly extract the lessons of a near-death experience through reflection and cultivate five key concepts: gratitude, humility, beauty, innocence, and a sense of place in the world. By visually connecting each  of these ideas together in the shape of a five-point star, the author demonstrates how  these key insights are interlinked, each supporting and adding value to the others, with the  open area inside representing love. Brief but eloquent, it addresses a popular and important topic without overly-sentimental or religious overtones.
