At some point in our lives, most of us have experienced a period of high momentum and motivation, but what about all of the times when we are not in that zone? Whereever you're stuck, meaning any place except being on fire and excited about living life, there's a chapter for you in this book. Whether you're a success story looking for your next big thing, a person who is tired of living a mediocre life, or someone who doesn't even have a dream, here is where your wheels stop spinning.

Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. Neurosurgeon Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress. Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness.

Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere.
