A classic in the field of Out of Body exploration. From a modern perspective, the writing style is dated, slow moving, and burdened by defensive explication, but what he has to say is important and all his books retain must-read status for anyone interested in the Out of Body phenomenon.

The forerunner to Monroe's later books, "Journeys Out of the Body" details the author's accounts of out-of-body-experiences (OBE's). In this autobiography, the author claims ignorance to the subject until he finds himself pressed up against his ceiling looking down at his wife and the strange man lying in bed next to her (his own body).
Monroe writes without pretense, admitting the preposterousness of his claim. At the end of the book, he includes his psychiatrist's notes detailing an alternate explanation for the perceived OBE's.
On a personal note. I read this book when I was 13, nearly fifteen years ago, and it has stuck with me to this day.
