À propos de cet audio

A near-fatal health emergency leads to this powerful reflection on death—and what might follow—by the bestselling author of Tribe and The Perfect Storm.

For years as an award-winning war reporter, Sebastian Junger traveled to many front lines and frequently put his life at risk. And yet the closest he ever came to death was the summer of 2020 while spending a quiet afternoon at the New England home he shared with his wife and two young children. Crippled by abdominal pain, Junger was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Once there, he began slipping away. As blackness encroached, he was visited by his dead father, inviting Junger to join him. “It’s okay,” his father said. “There’s nothing to be scared of. I’ll take care of you.” That was the last thing Junger remembered until he came to the next day when he was told he had suffered a ruptured aneurysm that he should not have survived.

This experience spurred Junger—a confirmed atheist raised by his physicist father to respect the empirical—to undertake a scientific, philosophical, and deeply personal examination of mortality and what happens after we die. How do we begin to process the brutal fact that any of us might perish unexpectedly on what begins as an ordinary day? How do we grapple with phenomena that science may be unable to explain? And what happens to a person, emotionally and spiritually, when forced to reckon with such existential questions?

In My Time of Dying is part medical drama, part searing autobiography, and part rational inquiry into the ultimate unknowable mystery.

Editorial Review

A peek beyond the veil
The idea of an afterlife has long been the domain of either religion or the New Agey, crystal-collecting corners of culture. I subscribe to neither, but as a human who is going to die someday, I’m naturally curious about what that will entail. And the mere pinprick of a possibility that it’s not a sheer cliff drop into nothingness is a comfort. So I was excited to see a writer of Sebastian Junger’s calibre take this question on in the wake of his own near-death experience, in which he was visited by his dead father. As a war reporter, Junger has danced around mortality his whole career, but this, he says, was the first time he confronted death on its terms. That he narrates this highly personal and profound story himself makes it all the more engrossing. Dipping between memoir, biology, history and, yes, quantum physics, it didn’t give me any definitive answers on where my soul is headed – but it sure enriched it. —Phoebe N., Audible Editor

An incredible weaving of science, story and experience. My mind is blown.

This book surpassed any expectations I had at the start. The moment he started weaving his nearly tragic story into other people’s experiences I was hooked. But my mind was blown when he folded the skeptical scientific view of his father, scientists and doctors into the story. I had no idea a discussion around near death experiences could be tied to the birth of our universe.
