A Few Recent Publications
I’ve gotten behind on posting about my recent publications. So here’s a quick guide to the items I’ve published this summer, in parapsychology and in philosophy, in English and in French.

Why an Afterlife Obviously Exists
Why an Afterlife Obviously Exists is the title of a new book being released this weekend, and I have to say, it does an admirable job of arguing its thesis!

Using Coincidences to Tune In to Your Intuition
Just before Christmas, I did a lovely interview with Luisa Carel of Passion Harvest where we talked about how to decipher the meaning of coincidences and the ways they can guide us in the big decisions of our lives. Specifically, we talked about how coincidences can help us (have helped me!) tune into our intuition…
