About the Author

Like many of us, Lynwood Valentine Prest began his journey with questions. What happens when we die? Is there really something beyond this physical existence? Can we trust the accounts of those who claim to have glimpsed the other side?

Rather than accepting easy answers or dismissing these questions as unknowable, Prest applied his engineering training to researching the extensive work conducted by others. He examined the investigations of researchers who had compiled millions of near-death experience testimonies from people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures.

What emerged from this research by others revealed remarkably consistent patterns across millions of testimonies. People from vastly different backgrounds reported strikingly similar experiences: the tunnel of light, life reviews, encounters with deceased loved ones, overwhelming feelings of love and peace, and glimpses of a reality more beautiful than words can describe. This overwhelming evidence from NDErs pointed to realms that truly exist, much like a jury in a criminal trial evaluating witness testimony—except here, millions of witnesses have given similar accounts.

The Best Goal in Life represents Prest's profound realization based on this extensive research by others—a book that presents these findings not as religious doctrine or new-age speculation, but as evidence that everyone should know about to help improve life on earth for all mankind.
