193. World Renowned Neurosurgeon Dies and Returned To Tell About the Experience

Author: Roger K. McFillin, Psy.D., ABPP July 24, 2025 Duration: 1:31:38

Eben Alexander, MD, was an academic neurosurgeon for over 25 years, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School in Boston. He experienced a transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE) during a week-long coma from an inexplicable brain infection that completely transformed his worldview. A pioneering scientist and modern thought leader in the emerging science that acknowledges the primacy of consciousness in the universe, he is the author of the New York Times #1 Bestseller Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven and Living in a Mindful Universe.


Hosted by board-certified psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin, the Radically Genuine Podcast is a direct challenge to the superficial and often ineffective narratives that dominate discussions about wellness. This isn't about quick fixes or polite self-help tropes. Instead, Dr. McFillin engages in substantive, sometimes uncomfortable dialogues that dissect how cultural trends, the fitness industry, and the mental health system itself can sometimes hinder genuine healing. You'll hear from a compelling range of voices-including survivors of adversity, clinical experts, and independent thinkers-all united by a commitment to raw truth over feel-good fiction. The conversations within this podcast deliberately avoid easy answers, focusing instead on the complex, gritty work of building authentic resilience and psychological strength. It’s for anyone who suspects that mainstream advice has failed to address the root causes of personal and societal struggle, offering a deeper, more nuanced examination of human behavior and recovery. By confronting controversial topics and institutional failings without flinching, each episode aims to provide listeners with a more honest framework for navigating life's inevitable challenges, making it a distinctly valuable voice in the health and society podcast landscape.
