MS. Kubler-Ross became legendary becuase she was able to make death safe for democracy and in this book she tames death for us, once again.
As Phillip Rieff told us in The Triumph of the Therapeutic or Arthur Frank in The Wounded Storyteller Americans demand a comforting culture that promises that things keep getting all the time. In this book Kubler-Ross delivers on that promise by glibly pandering to our desire not to deal with the facts of our mortality fully and freely.For Kubler Ross wants us to judge we are all silly gooses for thinking or worrying about death since she knows lacking a doubt that we all live forever and like is all that matters. The excellent fairy must be jealous of how Kubler Ross comforts us with such pharmakoning thoughts. But hey why wrestle with the thought we are mortal when writers like Kubler Ross will tell us comforting tales and take us to never never land where we all live happily ever after? If Nietzsche or John Dewey or Socrates are in Hevane with Ms. Ross-they probably slapped her face with her pandering to peoples virtueless desire to make the bugbear of death go away lacking any effort on our part.
O Kubler Ross-Youve done it again!

Dr. Kubler-Ross pretends to draw conclusions from here many interviews with persons who’ve had near death experiences. In reality, she mentions some point cases (over and over) and then starts preaching her philosophy. Her basic belief is that the physical body is essential useless and temporary and we will no longer need it. Also, after death everybody will be super smart and super pleased. Predictable new-age drivel.

Elizabeth Kubler-Ross vaulted to fame with her “On Death and Dying,” which introduced the all-purpose public to the thought that human beings experience death (or any kind of loss) in stages. In the current volume, EKB leaves aside any pretence of science to tell us things we can “learn” in any secular TV show on the supernatural. When we die, we see our loved ones; no one dies alone; death is abandoning the “cocoon” of our natural bodies; in death we (no matter our virtue) enter an abode of timelessness and unconditional like; we eventually shuck even our ethereal bodies as we wait for our next bodily incarnation; what we call Christ and God is a creative being of infinite like and acceptance; we hold within us a spark of the divine, which is perfected through as many incarnations as it takes.
As a Christian, I belief in life after death, based on the experience of the Resurrection of Christ. The Church has also taught that the body is not a disposable cocoon, but an vital part of our resurrected bodies. While I am open to considering facts that seem to contradict Church teaching, EKB presents no real evidence that would make me abandon the Church’s longstanding opinion.
EKB gives us no evidence that any of this is real, except for her opinion and the testimony of her own mystical experience. Kubler Ross does give her audience what it wants to hear – that we are all capable of mystical experiences, that we possess all knowledge, that we are all capable of healing ourselves, that children are born pure and are contaminated by life. These are pleasant thoughts, if right. But though EKB seems to be a wonderfully compassionate person, she presents no evidence that her conclusions arise from her experience comforting the dying.
EKB seems to be sincere, but this book hardly proves the being of life after death. Neither does it provide a basis for believing EKB’s assertions, no matter how many fascinating mystical experiences she claims. There is small authoritative in this book additional than the leader’s reputation.
That said, persons who already judge EKB’s New Age dogmas will find this an inspiration and a bulwark to their faith.

In this extremely brief book consisting of four separate essays, Kubler-Ross talks about her meeting with a deceased person (this nearly made me place the book down thinking that she was nuts! ), the process of grieving over parents, personal growth and her own mystical experience and near death experience. The book is appealing, but suffers from an extreme bias. It is not dispassionate at all and she seems to wish to push her opinions on others. She claims to have collected over 20,000 NDE reports, but all of her evidence is anecdotal and cannot be backed up. Still, she insists that “there is no death” and uses this as part of her life’s philosophy. She may have greater justification than additional people for this, but I can’t help but thinking that her opinion are a bit weak. The most appealing part of the book was her account of some very odd experiences which she herself had. A nice addition to the literature of near death studies, but I was not much impressed.
