Francesco, the only heir of a very rich family, will go into an irreversible coma after a serious car accident, at which point his spirit will leave his body and he will know true and absolute happiness. After having experienced paradise, Francis would like to remain in that state of grace, but a miracle will happen. The Lord will ask him to return to earth so that he can reveal to those who are ready to receive it, the truth that he himself has known. That day, when my spirit rose from its bed in the operating theatre, I realised that I no longer belonged to this world. I had finished my earthly adventure but was about to begin another one, still unpredictable, but attractive and beautiful. I felt the unusual pleasure of abandoning my body, which I no longer needed. I felt free of the senses, which I was making up for with the immediate perception of what I wanted. But most of all I felt free from the burden of need and thus from anxiety, fear, uncertainty. What made me happiest, however, was the knowledge that bodily death had not deprived me of the consciousness of existing; on the contrary, I perceived an astonishing and new sensation, that of immortality.In these shocking and wonderful pages, the motivations for our existence are revealed, and the answers to the many whys of life.
