Does consciousness survive death?

Professor Jesse Bering has spent almost three decades researching the way we think about the afterlife. That research led him to the work of the psychiatrist Dr Ian Stevenson. Dr Stevenson dedicated his career to documenting consciousness after death, travelling the world to investigate cases of reincarnation, apparitions and near-death experiences. Now Professor Bering, who the Director of the Centre for Science Communication at the University of Otago, has released a book about what he found.
