Journeys Out of the Body by Robert A. Monroe is the classic first-hand account that introduced the phenomenon of out-of-body experiences (OBEs) to a mainstream audience. In this pioneering book, Monroe documents his own spontaneous and repeated journeys beyond physical reality—into non-physical realms, alternate dimensions, and states of consciousness. Blending personal narrative with methodical observation, he presents OBEs not as dreams or hallucinations, but as verifiable states of being that offer deep insight into life, death, and the soul’s existence beyond the body.
