How does a top neurosurgeon process a full on trip to the afterlife? In this episode Jonny and Sparks hear from neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander who found himself in a week long coma suffering from E. coli meningoencephalitis having been given 2% chance of survival and zero chance of recovery by his doctors. Dr Eben’s return to health is miraculous enough but when you pair this with his incredible near death experience it becomes mind blowing. Dr Eben’s message is clear and inspiring and his understandings are scientifically backed and evidence based. Death is not what we think it is. And neither is life. What does this mean for human potential? We will let him explain. Please enjoy.
Dr Eben Alexander has written three books : Proof of Heaven, Map of Heaven, Living in a mindful Universe (along with Karen Newell).

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
