Story4.5 out of 5 stars 44
In 2000, end-of-life therapist William Peters was volunteering at the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco when he had an extraordinary experience as he was reading aloud to a patient: he suddenly felt himself floating midair, completely out of his body. The patient, who was also aloft, looked at him and smiled. The next moment, Peters felt himself return to his body…but his patient never regained consciousness and died.

A Sigh of Relief
Reviewed: 07-27-22
This book addresses a phenomenon that has likely existed since animals have had consciousness, has been described in a host of cultures for millennia, and yet has been documented only in the last 100 years. Yet this is a topic that we just don’t speak about in polite society. William J Peters opens this hidden topic to the light of day. I can almost imagine the readers of this book sharing a collective sigh of relief about what happens to the soul/spirit at that point of time that we label as “death.” For those of us who have had a Shared Death Experience it is destigmatizing, and for those of us who are psychotherapists, it provides us with a powerful tool in helping our clients process the grief of a lost loved one. Reading this book is a rewarding journey in itself.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 830
During World War II, in the middle of building an atomic bomb, the leaders of the Manhattan Project were alarmed to learn that Nazi Germany was far outpacing the Allies in nuclear weapons research; Hitler, with just a few pounds of uranium, would have the capability to reverse the entire D-Day operation and conquer Europe. So they assembled a rough and motley crew of geniuses—dubbed the Alsos Mission—and sent them careening into Axis territory to spy on, sabotage, and even assassinate members of Nazi Germany's feared Uranium Club.

One of the most fascinating, and also surprising, books I’ve come across in years, introducing me to real life characters who have changed the world as well as the backstories of history most of us never hear. I just didn’t want the book to end.
