“Gary Schwartz has been on a remarkable journey throughout his lifetime. His body of work is inspirational to me because his passion to bring science and spirit together is dominated by an empirical doctrine that is unimpeachable. His latest research as recounted in [The Sacred Promise] is likely to impress even the most diehard skeptic. I am proud to recommend this book and to heap as much praise as possible upon my friend, Gary Schwartz.”

—Kelsey Grammer

“Sacred Promise is elegant ,rigorous, and groundbreaking—research science at its most innovative. Gary Schwartz’s exposition of ideas interfacing theory, paradigm, method, and anecdotes shows academia at its best.”

—Dr. Lisa Miller, Associate Professor of Psychology, Columbia University, editor of the Oxford University Press Handbook of Psychology and Spirituality, and co-host of the TV show Psychic Kids

“For more than two decades I have had the privilege of working with Gary Schwartz. He has amazed me not only with his insights and hard scientific approach, but also his willingness to explore and then share his findings on very controversial topics. Even if you do not believe in the premises of The Scared Promise, your intellect and heart will be teased enough so that you just might open your mind and start to believe that all this, and more, is possible.”

—Jerry Cohen, CEO, Canyon Ranch

“Postmortem survival has long been a taboo topic in scientific circles. Gary Schwartz had ingenuity and a pioneering spirit to go deeply into this area and not be afraid of what he found. This book shares both his major findings as a scientist and his personal growth and changes during that search. You’ll be fascinated by this book!”

—Charles T. Tart, PhD, author of Altered States of Consciousness, Transpersonal Psychologies, and The End of Materialism
