Book excerpt: "The Undying Soul is a gift to all readers, even those who have abandoned their belief in the existence of a soul. Dr. Iacoboni writes with compassion as a scientist-philosopher, offering a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the field of oncology... and the heart of a doctor moved to reach beyond the chasm of scientific indifference...As he recounts the lessons taught him by patients, we are brought to a fresh consideration of the presence of God...
