One of the deepest questions we can ask is: What happens after we die? For the past centuries, with the rise of scientific materialism, the prevailing answer to this has been: nothing.

Through direct experience, Daniel Pinchbeck has learned that shamanism is a real phenomenon and that direct access to the spiritual world is available to anybody who is willing to explore for themselves and escape the prevailing orthodoxies, as well as the "irrational rationality" of the current system.
