The Big Picture of Life offers key messages--there is much more to life than you can see, hear, and feel; the Real You lives after your earthly body dies; you are a very important part of life, now and always; and you have special talents to help others and our world. …A must-read for anyone who wants to know more about what happens when we die. I find it reassuring, uplifting, comforting and engaging. -–Mark Anthony | By Prof. Harald Walach The Galileo Commission is a project of the Scientific and Medical Network, the principal aim of which is to challenge the adequacy of scientific materialism or scientism as an exclusive basis for knowledge and values.
