About the author

Dinesh D’Souza has had a 25-year career as a writer, scholar, and public intellectual. A former policy analyst in the Reagan White House, D’Souza also served as John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He served as the president of The King's College in New York City from 2010 to 2012.
Called one of the “top young public-policy makers in the country” by Investor’s Business Daily, D’Souza quickly became known as a major influencer on public policy through his writings. His first book, Illiberal Education (1991), publicized the phenomenon of political correctness in America’s colleges and universities and became a New York Times bestseller for 15 weeks. It has been listed as one of the most influential books of the 1990s.
In 1995, D’Souza published The End of Racism, which became one of the most controversial books of the time and another national bestseller. His 1997 book, Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader, was the first book to make the case for Reagan’s intellectual and political importance. D’Souza’s The Virtue of Prosperity (2000) explored the social and moral implications of wealth.
In 2002, D’Souza published his New York Times bestseller What’s So Great About America, which was critically acclaimed for its thoughtful patriotism. His 2003 book, Letters to a Young Conservative, has become a handbook for a new generation of young conservatives inspired by D’Souza’s style and ideas. The Enemy at Home, published in 2006, stirred up a furious debate both on the left and the right. It became a national bestseller and was published in paperback in 2008, with a new afterword by the author responding to his critics.
Just as in his early years D’Souza was one of the nation’s most articulate spokesmen for a reasoned and thoughtful conservatism, in recent years he has been an equally brilliant and forceful defender of Christianity. What’s So Great About Christianity not only intelligently explained the core doctrines of the Christian faith, it also explained how the freedom and prosperity associated with Western Civilization rest upon the foundation of biblical Christianity. Life After Death: The Evidence shows why the atheist critique of immortality is irrational and draws the striking conclusion that it is reasonable to believe in life after death.
In 2010, D’Souza wrote The Roots of Obama’s Rage (Regnery), which was described as the most influential political book of the year and proved to be yet another best seller.
In 2012, D’Souza published two books, Godforsaken and Obama’s America: Unmaking the American Dream, the latter climbing to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and inspiring a documentary on the same topic. The film, called "2016: Obama’s America," has risen to the second-highest all-time political documentary, passing Michael Moore's Sicko and Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. In addition, 2016 has risen to #4 on the bestselling list of all documentaries.
These endeavors—not to mention a razor-sharp wit and entertaining style—have allowed D’Souza to participate in highly-publicized debates about Christianity with some of the most famous atheists and skeptics of our time.
Born in Mumbai, India, D’Souza came to the U.S. as an exchange student and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 1983.
D’Souza has been named one of America’s most influential conservative thinkers by the New York Times Magazine. The World Affairs Council lists him as one of the nation’s 500 leading authorities on international issues, and Newsweek cited him as one of the country’s most prominent Asian-Americans.
D’Souza’s articles have appeared in virtually every major magazine and newspaper, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, New Republic, and National Review. He has appeared on numerous television programs, including the The Today Show, Nightline, The News Hour on PBS, The O’Reilly Factor, Moneyline, Hannity, Bill Maher, NPR’s All Things Considered, CNBC's Kudlow Report, Lou Dobbs Tonight, and Real Time with Bill Maher.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2016Book Review of Life After Death the Evidence
by Dinesh D’Souza
Regnory, Washington, D.C., 2009
269 Pages
In my New York debate on “Is Christianity the Problem?” with Christopher Hitchens, a lively affair, against a resourceful opponent - one of the most interesting questions came from a man from the island nation on Tonga. For centuries, the man said, Tonga suffered terrible vendettas, tribal wars, and even cannibalism. Then the missionaries came with their doctrines of God, universal brotherhood and the afterlife. Today, the man said, Tonga is a much more peaceful and happy place. Then, turning to Hitchens he said, “You have given us some interesting theories, but what do you have to offer us?” Hitchens was momentarily speechless (Pg. 185).
This, of course, raises two questions: “Does atheism have anything to offer?” and “Is there life after atheism?” Well, both of those questions are rendered meaningless by this book as it details comprehensively and then rebuts all the anti-cultural psychopathic depressing offerings of one atheist after another. Life After Death details by Thomistic erudition how the obsessional empirical rationalism of atheists is wrong and intellectually embarrassing. The scientism of atheists is shown to subvert truth and tradition as reasoned arguments are censored and distorted. The science of atheists does not ennoble mankind nor does it improve our understanding of ourselves even if it superficially improves satisfaction in this earthly life. The principle of uncertainty proves how the empirical fragmentation and mathematical specialization of atheistic science destroys all it studies because it reduces the being of its subjects as it studies them. Without transcendental interpretation and activation, science, with the arrogant pretentious satisfaction of anti-transcendental “creation,” creates non-being (which is a valid definition of “evil” in which atheists cannot believe without becoming spiritual). D’Souza makes us realize that it is more rational to act believing and knowing that there is life after death.
D’Souza’s review of near death experiences proves a fascinating topic deserving continued attention. The chapters on the laws of physics, the big bang, and the anthropic principle provide an understandable scientific basis for belief while the description of the wild bizarre zero-probability theories of a Multiverse (page 86) demonstrate to this reader the laughable God-phobic trivialities to which atheists flee.
The chapter, “Undeniable Teleology: The Plot of Evolution,” is great fun especially for those of us who are agnostics about evolution after having been “believers” of evolution for most of our lives. Consistent with D’Souza, we will not deny the teleology, but we will deny Darwinian evolution1 (Easy to do once one understands (1) the “pheromone problem” in that sub-human animals with biochemical certitude effectively only mate with their own kind, and thus there are no hybrids in nature; and (2) the “sterile hybrid problem” in that animal hybrids, when forcefully created by humans, cannot reproduce—Both facts absolutely prevent the major genetic transfers required by evolution as currently advertised). D’Souza presents evolution in a very gentle way –too gentle for me as I again loudly proclaim my discovering Richard Dawkins to be a bold scheming liar deserving no credibility—The suppression and censorship of my findings by the liberal press (as usual guiltless and without conscience) and scientists (as usual guiltless and without conscience) is an outrage (My criticisms of Dawkins and other loud atheists are available from me at [...]).
Chapter Seven, “The Spiritual Brain--Finding the Soul within the Body,” analyzes the neurological, psychophysiological, electrophysiological and computer aspects of mind-material-brain. This chapter is worth the price of the whole book, and it renders at least “plausible” that there is life after death.
The best evidence of contemporary neuroscience is that the mind cannot be equated with the brain, and while the deterioration of the brain might impede the operation of the mind, the two are separate, which makes it possible that our immaterial minds and consciousness might survive the termination of our physical frames (Pg. 125).
D’Souza’s analysis of consciousness, free will and immaterial self are adequate and nicely supplemented by my Theogeocalculus of Life2. His chapter on philosophy of reason, phenomena, subjectivity/objectivity, is transcendentalizing. He quotes atheist Schopenhauer: “Your real being knows neither time, nor beginning, nor end….Your immortal part is indestructible” (Pg. 162). Thus, the first modern atheist proves his Theophobia as he proclaims immortality—Schopenhauer, like them all, cannot bring himself to say “God,” and the psychology of unbelief can be seen as a mental disorder more delusional than any accusations or book by Richard Dawkins.
It is the atheists who are afflicted by Wunchtrum – wishful thinking. It is so thoughtless and easy to be a café atheist just mouthing off about that which is not known or believed. Like Freud3, the reaction formation to their childhood religiosity is overwhelmingly pathological.
So what do atheists bring except a denatured Christianity anyway? All their real goodness is a shadow of their latent and unconscious but denied Christianity. A real catastrophe would be an atheistic world. In fact, we’ve been there. While studying the Christian creation of America4, I found myself telling atheists to create their own country. Then I realized they did. It was called the Soviet Union. Godless materialism is all the Soviets offered – almost identical to what is now being offered today by those I call “soviets” (nee “liberals”)–it fits, except todays’ soviets do not have the overt militaristic expansion capability or forced unfree compliance yet, although the European Union does so more and more (The EU should be known more accurately as the European Soviet).
The significance of the book is that only those who act will win. Believers cannot sit on their hands. One must provoke to gain respect and receptivity from the man from Tonga and all others. One would be deaf, dumb and blind not to see the nothingness of what atheists believe and the contrary transcendental cornucopia of a life after death. The book made me reread the recommended book by Anthony Rizzi, The Science Before Science5.
Atheism is the prevention of evolution – it is the stagnating prevention of the human spirit. It is a polluting regression into non-being. It is soviet. D’Souza has defeated them all. One must read the book and embrace the exhaustive deep case D’Souza makes for Life after Death.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2012I had never read anything by D'Sousa. but I had seen him speak. His clarity of speech that one observes as he speaks and answers questions to any audience, hostile or supportive, comes through in spades in one of the best, revolutionary studies providing an apologetic on the the defense of the Christian belief in life after death. I previously had done some research on eschatology and on the Bible's view of life after death, so I was somewhat prepared for a description of a Biblical, or even an Eastern approach to life after death based on "feelings of hope brought on by traditional thought" and philosophy. However, D'Sousa's approach to the subject was revolutionary in that he used evidence that is contemporaneous, scientific, historical, testable, and measurable to provide strong support for the concept of life after death, without appealing to scripture or ancient traditions of the hundreds of cultures that have and do believe in a conscious life after death. His work is well documented and it was so intriguing to me that I was driven into some of his supporting materials, and that has lead me to look at scientific works done by many other scientists and even the US and Chinese governments on the attempt to understand consciousness, and the idea that consciousness does exist outside the body and in a transcendent realm.
This is not a book just for the convicted Christian, though it will provide you wonderful support for your ancient religion and its beliefs. Suddenly, several of the passages in the Bible make sense, and can be explained by Near Death Experiences (NDE) in the realm of Paradise. (It turns out that over 18 million Americans now admit to having a Near Death Experience in which they traveled into Paradise, and now no longer fear death.) St. Paul talking about the man that visited the various levels of heaven and saw things that are unspeakable is a perfect description of one aspect of the typical NDE, as is Jacob's Ladder experience. This is also a book for anyone wishing to understand the scientific proof for life after death even if one is not a Christian. Approximately, 90% of the world already, intuitively believes in life after death, to include a majority of medical doctors, and this book provides a coherent, supportable defense of those beliefs. It is interesting and amazing and it will change your mind if not your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bom
Poderia ser mais extenso a respeito de certos assuntos, por exemplo a conveniência das orações pelos mortos (cuja eficácia é negada pelos protestantes, mas afirmada pelos católicos), a predestinação em confronto com o livre arbítrio, e outros assuntos que podem ter influência em nossa situação futura. Mas sem dúvida trata-se de um bom livro.

Very good book. With all its arguments, I've found it very impartial and religiously unmotivated. Definetely suggested reading for all searching truth and meaning of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars For anyone genuinely interested in the possibility of life after death this book is a must!
The author presents robust scientific, philosophical and other reasons which support the existence of life after death. If read with an open mind D'Souza undoubtedly makes a powerful and persuave case! The writing style is intelligent and yet entertainingly readable too! Grea Stuff!

I enjoyed the read which gives a scientist point of view. It is interesting to compare it with religious aspects.
