Review - The Afterlife Experiments by Gary Schwartz
I really liked this book. Although I can't account for the veracity of the experiments themselves, if they were conducted with utmost empirical stringency (ie. double-blind, controls, etc.), then the data gathered from the experiments gives a tremendous amount of information regarding PSI phenomena. Whether or not this information is very strong evidence for a spirit world and for "life after death" is an unknown. That being said, that information about participants can be obtained through such non-ordinary means is intriguing and begs the question, "Where does this information come from, spirits or telepathy?"
