Publisher's summary

When New York Times best-selling author Raymond Moody began writing about near-death experiences, he noticed that the stories resembled the nonsensical writing of his literary heroes Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, and Dr. Seuss.

In this book, Dr. Moody shares the groundbreaking results of four decades of research into the philosophy of nonsense, revealing new ways to understand and experience life, death, and spirituality. Explore the nuanced feelings that accompany nonsense language, and learn how engaging with nonsense can help you on your spiritual path. Discover how nonsense transcends classical true/false logic, opening the doorway to new spiritual and philosophical breakthroughs. With dozens of examples from literature, comedy, music, and art, this accessible book presents a fascinating new approach to the mysteries of the human spirit.

Still thinking about this book.

listened to this book, then listened to it again. It changed the way I look at things. It's different than any book you ever read. Stay with it. Love the second half, talking to the dead.

Terrible book, worse narration

Usually Moody is a can’t miss author, but not this time. I couldn’t even finish it. Between the narrator, who should only be allowed to read a blank sheet of paper, and the actual context of the book, this was a complete waste.

Waste of time

Unfortunately this book should have just been titled "Rambling Nonsense." There are so many great books about life after death, NDEs, etc, by Moody and others. But, this is not one of them. Extremely glad I did not pay for this book. But, I'm not going to get the time back I lost spent listening to it.

Wanted to return it

This author has written many good books that held my interest. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. Didn’t hold my interest.

what a waste of time. I should have known better.

I could have listened to Joe Biden or Psaki and gotten more out of them.
