An audio version of my 2016 scholarly philosophy book The Feeling of Value, narrated by me (except for the foreword by Thomas Nagel, which…

My first audiobook is now available!

“Beyond Death” interview with The Mystical Underground
Yesterday, Trish and Rob MacGregor had me back on their podcast The Mystical Underground to talk about my new book, Beyond Death: The Best Evidence for the Survival of Human Consciousness.

The Reluctant Psychic
When I posted my 15 favorite paranormal memoirs a few months ago, I left out one very important book: Suzan Saxman’s The Reluctant Psychic.
