Publisher's Synopsis
Whether you're a true believer or a hardened cynic, When the Dead Talk Back: What Everyone Should Know about Metaphysics and Medicine will make you stop and think. In an irreverent and engaging prose style, Paul Boyden Walker, a mainstream business consultant and "reluctant clairvoyant" for twenty years, convinces us that he and countless others who possess psychic talents should not be dismissed as crazy or deluded. On the contrary, these gifted people now have science on their side. When the Dead Talk Back surveys compelling scientific research that is expanding our understanding of human potential. Studies at prestigious universities have demonstrated that our awareness extends beyond our minds and that people can communicate telepathically and can accurately "see" distant objects and events. Concurrently, following quite a different line of investigation, quantum physicists have demonstrated beyond any doubt that our minds can have an impact on physical reality at its most fundamental level. In light of these startling scientific findings, the author takes a fresh look at such phenomena as the near-death experience, life after death, and mind-body medicine. Along the way, he discredits both new-age numbskulls and narrow-minded skeptics, recommending that all of us become discriminating but fearless explorers of the mystical realm. With its innovative mix of scientific reporting, rational analysis, and personal memoir, When the Dead Talk Back ushers in a new age in new age writing.
