"“These amazing insights into ICU delirium, coma, and sleep are critically important to the human condition.” * Peter J. Murphy, M.D., professor and chief of medicine at California Northstate University College o * “This wonderful, well-researched, groundbreaking book explores the mysterious inner world of patients in coma. It points the way to more humane and effective treatment for those patients who are the most vulnerable and unable to speak for themselves. In addition, the authors include a fascinating investigation of other dimensions of consciousness, such as those experienced in NDEs, OBEs, dream states, and induced visions. Significantly, they point out that these experiences may be the overlooked bridge uniting science and spirituality.” * Roberta Moore, M.A., M.B.A., filmmaker and former professor at Florida Southwestern State College * ""So good! So needed!"" * Jeffrey J. Kripal, associate dean of faculty and graduate studies, Rice University * “A must-read for anyone who is touched by critical illness, whether they are a patient, family member, or a clinician.” * E. Wesley Ely, M.D., professor of medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center * “I want all my students to read this book!” * Jill Larkin Storer, BSN, RN, CCRN, clinical educator in critical care *"
