Death Does Not Exist: What Science and Spirituality Can Teach Us About the Afterlife

"This provocative international bestseller follows the trail blazed by Raymond Moody's Life After Life, revealing what happens after we die, weaving first-hand experience with emerging scientific discoveries. Death does not exist. When we die, we don't stop living. We change worlds. What happens when we die? What happens to our consciousness? Does it outlive brain death? Those pressing and eternal questions overwhelmed French journalist Stéphane Allix when his brother passed away. So he decided to mobilize all of his skills and instincts as a journalist in an attempt to shed light on the mystery of our consciousness. Written as a letter to his fifteen-year-old daughter in an attempt to explain her uncle's untimely death and its impact on his own understanding of reality, Death Does Not Exist weaves scientific breakthroughs with tales of the countless unexplained phenomena related to death (near-death experiences, extra-sensory perception) and personal experiences including a shamanic quest. This grand adventure leads toward inspiring revelations about the nature of the soul, suggesting that our consciousness has a spiritual dimension. Death Does Not Exist is at once a forward-thinking assessment about recent discoveries and a truly inspiring personal story, offering comforting reassurance discovered over the course of Allix's journey to the farthest reaches of life."

There Is No Other: The Way to Harmony and Wholeness

"Best Spiritual Books of 2025 - Spirituality and Practice An essential balm for these tumultuous times, this thoughtful and inspiring guide features newly gathered teachings to abandon the idea there is an "other," bridging differences and cherishing our lives in the world, from beloved spiritual leader Ram Dass. With the world seeming to teeter between democracy and authoritarianism, between humanitarianism and individualism, Ram Dass's teachings on wholeness and unity are more needed than ever. There Is No Other is a groundbreaking work showcasing the late spiritual leader's thoughts and insights on broaching the divide and bringing disparate souls together. In these profound, newly gathered writings, Ram Dass shows us how a house divided against itself-whether that "house" is our individual self or the society in which we live-can come together in wholeness. There is no "other," he explains. It is all one. Structured in three sections, There Is No Other teaches us to open ourselves, come together in community, and love one another-and ourselves-across all our seeming contradictions and divisions. Anne Lamott contributes a beautiful foreword and each section is followed by a short essay reflecting on the endurance of Ram Dass's ideas penned by Sharon Salzberg, Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield, and Mirabai Bush, as well as guided meditations to deepen each lesson. As he leads us toward wholeness within our unique selves and as a human community, Ram Dass gives us the most precious gift: hope. Only in seeing ourselves in our complexity can we come together and honor our incarnations on the sacred planet we inhabit."

The Maenad's God

"Pete Morrow is an alienated FBI agent whose only escape from the colleagues and society he despises is through reading literary classics. When his boss sends him to warn away a drug dealer on an obscure army base, he discovers a murder and becomes obsessed with Jade McClellan, a mysterious man whose rock band just performed at the crime scene. Tough-guy Morrow has never been in love before—but Jade is almost magical, an embodiment of myth and literature who creates living fantasies that rapidly become the only thing Morrow values in his otherwise miserable life. But there's a problem. Morrow is investigating a mafia family that is investing in Jade's musical career. Being open about their relationship could get both of them killed. Morrow's investigation annihilates his hard-boiled understanding of reality when he learns that Jade is an abandoned, mortal son of Dionysus, the god whose energy informs hard rock. Jade's mafia support is being arranged by Dirty Penny Starmaker, a witch who started life in 5th century BCE Athens, where she received a divine mandate to promote brilliant musicians throughout history. Penny is warring with Hugh McCrae, a primeval, human-like 'monster' who has currently incarnated himself as a congressional aide with an unhealthy interest in Morrow's work. McCrae (rhymes with 'decay') carries his own divine mandate to promote cultural decline by eradicating creativity and art. This includes Jade, his music, and Morrow's newfound happiness. A seamless blend of psychological thriller, dark satire, magical realism, LGBTQ romantic suspense, and myth, The Maenad's God is the story of a spiritual war that's been fought for thousands of years; the war between the ancient arts of music, poetry, and love; and the equally ancient forces of artistic envy, oppressive law, and authoritarian religion."

Dinner with King Tut: How Rogue Archaeologists Are Re-creating the Sights, Sounds, Smells, and Tastes of Lost Civilizations

"From "one of America's smartest and most charming writers" (NPR), an archaeological romp through the entire history of humankind-and through all five senses-from tropical Polynesian islands to forbidding arctic ice floes, and everywhere in between. Whether it's the mighty pyramids of Egypt or the majestic temples of Mexico, we have a good idea of what the past looked like. But what about our other senses: The tang of Roman fish sauce and the springy crust of Egyptian sourdough? The boom of medieval cannons and the clash of Viking swords? The frenzied plays of an Aztec ballgame...and the chilling reality that the losers might also lose their lives? History often neglects the tastes, textures, sounds, and smells that were an intimate part of our ancestors' lives, but a new generation of researchers is resurrecting those hidden details, pioneering an exciting new discipline called experimental archaeology. These are scientists gone rogue: They make human mummies. They investigate the unsolved murders of ancient bog bodies. They carve primitive spears and go hunting, then knap their own obsidian blades to skin the game. They build perilous boats and plunge out onto the open sea-all in the name of experiencing history as it was, with all its dangers, disappointments, and unexpected delights. Beloved author Sam Kean joins these experimental archaeologists on their adventures across the globe, from the Andes to the South Seas. He fires medieval catapults, tries his hand at ancient surgery and tattooing, builds Roman-style roads-and, in novelistic interludes, spins gripping tales about the lives of our ancestors with vivid imagination and his signature meticulous research. Lively, offbeat, and filled with stunning revelations about our past, Dinner with King Tut sheds light on days long gone and the intrepid experts resurrecting them today, with startling, lifelike detail and more than a few laughs along the way."

The Man from Steamtown: The Story of F. Nelson Blount

"The throbbing sound of the steam-driven pistons and sight of the flashing drive-rods quickened the boy's pulse. He had heard and seen it all from his bedroom window, but now he had stepped-in person-into the wonderful world of steam. F. Nelson Blount's interest in steam engines began when he was only four. As he grew up, he studied and wrote about them, often traveling many miles to see one. Yet it was years before he was able to pursue his dream of becoming an engineer. With his keen head for business and unyielding perseverance, Nelson became a millionaire in the seafood industry before he was thirty. Over the years, he did stunt flying and deep-sea fishing. He collected old guns, vintage cars, and finally, a railroad with a 'thundering herd' of steam locomotives to preserve the wonderful Steam Age. Thus Steamtown, USA, was born, and Nelson fulfilled his lifelong dream. But none of this brought him true happiness or peace. It took his wife's near-fatal automobile accident to make Nelson realize that money has its limits, and there are some things only God can do. This led to Nelson's dramatic conversion and a relationship with Jesus Christ that turned him into a dynamic witness who put hundreds on track for the Lord. Even though Nelson died five years later, he left a legacy that is still impacting people today. The Man from Steamtown tells his amazing story."
