Dr. Michael Grosso uses anecdotal evidence that contends there are paths to the afterlife available for those willing to take a peak or more. He uses some examples gathered under professional observation and others that are more hearsay and not under a controlled environment to provide specific peepholes that a person can look through or for the more daring take a deeper dive into the afterlife pool. The roadmaps Dr. Grosso says exists consist of a wide variety of otherworldly phenomena such as ghosts, reincarnation and past life experiences, seeing the Light, out-of-body events, UFOs, and mystical experiences, etc.

This is a fun book that especially true believers will enjoy for the "true life" tales (some more famous than others) as well as the guide to experience the next world. Besides my read, I asked my husband (a skeptical statistical trend analysis expert) how statistically based is the evidence. He said: that Dr. Grosso uses too few examples (sample of the population not considered) in too many subcategories to draw any generalization/conclusions and that each anecdote is accepted as truth regardless of the source adding doubt of reliability of the data to the already questionable validity of each subcategory. Still these are interesting stories that readers will enjoy, but for those who want to take that one giant step there is no simple instruction except austere practices that are way outside the norm. EXPERIENCING THE NEXT WORLD NOW is for those who appreciate "true" tales of those experiencing otherworldly events.
