Every book Bruce Greyson recommended on podcasts

Dr. Bruce Greyson appeared on The Tim Ferriss Show to share insights from studying over one thousand near-death experiences, during which he discussed the seminal literature that shaped his field of research. He spoke extensively about Raymond Moody's book Life After Life, noting that Moody joined the faculty at the University of Virginia as a young intern when Greyson was already there. Greyson explained that Moody's book introduced the term near-death experiences to the public lexicon and provided early descriptions of the phenomenon. Furthermore, Greyson recalled how, following the publication of Moody's book in 1975, various psychologists and physicians grew interested in studying the phenomenon, which had previously been largely unknown. He also noted that his own research team at the University of Virginia examined reports from individuals who had reported near-death experiences to them before the book made the subject widely recognized. Through these reflections, Greyson highlighted how a single influential publication catalyzed decades of scientific inquiry into anomalous human consciousness and end-of-life phenomena.
