Let's stop pretending : the big question, considered in a new way -- Vendors of unbelief : atheist false advertising -- A universal longing : two types of immortality -- View from the edge : exploring near-death experiences -- The physics of immortality : multiple universes and unseen realms -- Undeniable teleology : the plot of evolution -- The spiritual brain : finding the soul within the body -- The immaterial self : how consciousness can survive death -- Out of this world : philosophy discovers the afterlife -- The impartial spectator : eternity and cosmic justice -- Good for society : the transcendent roots of secular values -- Good for you : the practical benefits of belief -- Life everlasting : eternity right now.
