And in the telling, Hill elucidates much of what we know, or think we know, about life, death, consciousness, and the meaning of the universe. <P>When people die by accident, in violence, or maybe they're drunk, stoned, or angry, they get freeze-framed. Even if they die naturally but have no clue what to expect, they might not notice they're dead. It's frustrating to see and not be seen. It's frustrating to not know what you're supposed to do next. It's especially frustrating to be in someone else's body and think it's your own. That's if you're dead. If you're alive and that spirit has attached itself to you, well that's a whole other set of frustrations. <P>Hill has woven this fascinating story with the history and theory of what happens at death, with particular emphasis on the last 40 years and the work of various groundbreaking thinkers whose work helps inform our idea of what it is to live and to die. 555195 book 20 6 2005 People Who Don't Know They're Dead: How They Attach Themselves To Unsuspecting bystanders and what to do about it total:12|5:4|4:5|3:1|2:2|1:0| 12 47 38 4 0 1 false false Fri Feb 22 13:13:20 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 22 13:40:19 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Oct 19 05:18:12 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 05:19:00 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 22 15:39:20 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 28 14:35:00 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Oct 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 20 06:51:59 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 20 06:54:06 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 01 13:24:58 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 13:24:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 30 18:14:07 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 18:14:07 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Sat Nov 14 23:03:34 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 23:03:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 13:27:58 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 13:27:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 21 22:43:41 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 22:43:41 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 08 16:16:41 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 16:16:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 19 10:31:26 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 10:31:26 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jun 30 17:55:16 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 17:16:37 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 10 21:49:32 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 13:49:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 09 15:51:26 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 15:51:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 09 14:04:35 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 14:04:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 27 09:26:43 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 10:32:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 02 12:47:20 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 12:47:20 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 22 01:07:51 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 01:07:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 13 15:10:13 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 15:10:13 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Dec 05 17:12:41 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 17:12:41 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=568131
