In this immensely hopeful, helpful and readable book Mindell gives the reader factual information and reframes the term coma as an "altered state of consciousness" that can be worked with and learned from. --
ForeWord Magazine Steven Holl February 1999Mindell's revolutionary guide paves the way for an exciting journey through the depths of human experience. It renders a diagnosis of coma anything but a dead-end road. --

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I read this book 2 years before a friend of mine suffered a lack of oxygen to the brain. He had been in a coma for a week and the doctor said he would be a vegetable if he woke up. I used the methods Mindell indicated in his book that enable a person to communicate with a coma victim. My friend woke up that night, and steadily made progress. This book gave me the tools to psychically and physically reach him. My gratitude to Mr. Mindell is enormous. Amy Mindell has also published a book on coma which is perhaps more easy to read than this one. The only critique I have of Arnold Miindell's book is that it dwells far more on end=of=life comas than beginning-again-of life comas.
