Out-of-Body Experiences: a Handbook

Note: This book is grubby and yellowed BUT it is still quite readable and the content is compelling.  If you are into this sort of thing, would be worth getting.

Providing the latest insights into this intriguing phenomenon, Out-of-Body Experiences offers a detailed exploration based on rigorous experimentation and comprehensive research. Dr. Mitchell argues that the wealth of anecdotal evidence collected throughout history and across cultures suggests that OBEs are significant human experiences, often misunderstood and sometimes mistaken for mental illness. Recent studies point to OBEs as a potential key to understanding fundamental questions about personal existence, such as whether survival beyond physical death is possible.

In addition to historical and laboratory evidence, the book includes personal accounts from individuals who claim to have experienced leaving their physical bodies. Dr. Mitchell approaches the philosophical, psychological, and ethical implications of these experiences with a balanced, objective perspective. He also delves into the connection between OBEs and dreams, while providing techniques for inducing and recognizing these extraordinary states.
