What if everything you were taught about reality was wrong? In The Death of Materialism, emergency physician David Michael Gibbs shares his improbable journey from die-hard skeptic to cosmopsychist — triggered by a single remote-viewing experiment that shattered fifteen years of materialist certainty.

Drawing on over 200 peer-reviewed studies aggregated from meta-analyses and reviews, Gibbs examines four persistent anomalies that materialism cannot explain: Quantum measurement's dependence on observation, The "hard problem" of why physical processes feel like anything, Replicable psi phenomena defying distance and time, Intention's measurable effects on biology, from placebo to distant healing. From quantum coherence in microtubules to non-local awareness in plants and animals, the data point to one conclusion: consciousness is not a late byproduct of the brain. It is the fundamental field from which matter emerges.

Written for the open-minded skeptic, this book balances rigorous evidence with personal revelation — including the author's own remission from chronic illness using nothing but directed belief. If you've ever wondered why near-death experiences persist during flat EEGs, why sham surgery heals as well as real, or why a robin "sees" magnetic fields with entangled electrons in its retina, The Death of Materialism offers a coherent answer that honors both science and wonder. The universe isn't a machine that accidentally grew minds. It's a conscious field learning to look at itself through us. Are you ready to question the ground beneath your feet?

David Michael Gibbs, MD is an active emergency physician whose personal encounter with remote viewing led him to reevaluate the nature of reality. This is his first book.
