THE WISDOM OF NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES: HOW UNDERSTANDING NDES CAN HELP US LIVE MORE FULLY

Book ID/图书代码： 14206015B80931

English Summary/英文概要： This book investigates the wide range of near-death experiences (NDEs) of patients that Penny Sartori has encountered during her nursing career, as well as the hundreds of cases of people who have reached out to her over the years. Many people take NDEs at surface value and are misinformed about the full extent of this highly complex phenomenon. Dr Sartori argues that, by pathologising the NDE, we are missing out on vital insights that can empower us to live fulfilled and meaningful lives. Dr Sartori does not offer superficial physiological or psychological explanations for why these experiences take place. Rather, the crucial point of this book is that NDEs undoubtedly occur and have very real, often dramatic, and life changing aftereffects. Further to that, the wisdom gained during the NDE can be life enhancing and have hugely positive effects on those who don’t have an NDE - all we have to do is take notice of and hear what these people have to say. A greater understanding of NDEs can not only enhance the way in which we care for dying patients, but also revolutionise our current worldview. This book encourages readers to take notice of and incorporate the wisdom and powerful messages of NDEs into their own lives.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本书调查了 Penny Sartori在她的看护生涯中所遇到的广泛的病人濒死体验的经历，在她多年中遭遇了多达几百人有这样的经历，很多人把濒死体验的表面价值误导成对这一高度复杂现象的全部范围。Sartori导师认为，由病理学操作的无损检测，我们错过了一些能使我们的生活满足的，有意义的生活的重要见解。Sartori医生不提供肤浅的生理或心理的解释为什么这些经历发生。相反，这本书的至关重要的一点是，濒死体验无疑发生，具有非常现实，往往戏剧性和改变生活的后遗症。进一步的是，濒死体验中获得的智慧可以提高生活，并且对这些不具有濒死体验有巨大的影响——我们所要做的就是对这些人说的话留意。濒死体验更去留意深入的了解，不仅可以增强我们照顾临终病人的方式，同时也改变我们当前的世界观。这本书鼓励读者并把濒死体验的智慧和强大的信息纳入到自己的生活。

Awards/获奖情况：“Penny Sartori护士受到与受创的垂死病人的濒死体验的经历去研究濒死体验，并不是追求来世可能会发生的事而是为了改善这辈子发生的事情。她的目标是要尽她所能地学习死亡过程，以帮助她的病人找到意义在他们的病症，恢复他们的生活幸福感。此书，是她的劳动成果,对于医护人员，临终病人及其家属，以及所有我们最终将面临死亡的人来说是宝贵的资源。” - Bruce Greyson，医学博士，Virginia大学精神病学和神经行为科学卫生系统的Carlson教授，Charlottesville, VA

“有着在重症治疗部护理垂死的人二十多年的经验在一个密集的治疗单位。加上一个有濒死体验的Sartori博士是极具资格讨论死亡和垂死的问题的。她认为，濒死体验我们提供的死亡过程更深入的了解和照顾身患绝症的患者可以得到加强，如果濒死体验将更为广泛的研究。更大承兑死亡的必然性将帮助身患绝症的人所处的情况。目前，他们正越来越多地接触到侵入性和繁重的护理中，即使复苏前景被认为是最小的。这是在有关病人护理当前的辩论中一个非常宝贵的贡献。”- Paul Badham博士，英国Wales, Trinity,和St. David大学神学和宗教研究的名誉教授

“Nurse Penny Sartori was driven by an experience with a traumatized dying patient to study near-death experiences, not to pursue what might happen in an afterlife but rather to improve what happens in this life. Her goal was to learn all she could about the dying process in order to help her patients find meaning in their illness and restore a sense of well-being in their lives. The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences, the fruit of her labors, is an invaluable resource for health care workers, for dying patients and their families, and for all of us who will face death eventually.” - Bruce Greyson, M.D., Carlson Professor of Psychiatry & Neurobehavioral Sciences University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville, VA

"With more than twenty years experience of nursing dying people in an intensive therapy unit , plus a Ph.D. in Near-death Experiences, Dr. Sartori is very well qualified to discuss issues of death and dying. She believes that NDEs provide us with a greater understanding of the dying process and that care of terminally ill patients could be enhanced if NDEs would more widely studied. A greater acceptance of the inevitability of death would help the situation of terminally ill people. At present they are increasingly exposed to invasive and burdensome treatments even when prospects for recovery are recognised as minimal. This is an immensely valuable contribution to current debates about patient care." - Paul Badham PhD., Professor Emeritus of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Wales, Trinity, St. David
