Written by Alexander Batthyány
Format: M4B

The first major account of terminal lucidity: the remarkable
return of clarity and cognition at the end of life

Terminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon.
Near the end of life, many people–including those who have
suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep
dementia–experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity
and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives, and often appear to be aware of their nearing death.

In this remarkable book, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute Dr. Alexander Batthyány offers the first major account of
terminal lucidity, utilizing hundreds of case studies to explore the mind, the body,
the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are
crossing the border from life to death.

Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into
one of life’s–and death’s–most provocative mysteries.
