When Mike Anthony’s father unexpectedly died, his family was devastated. But when a phone call came out of the blue delivering a complete stranger’s message that Mike’s dad had contacted her from “the other side,” it kicked off a chain of events that entirely changed Mike’s skeptical mindset about life, death, and the transcendent nature of love.

Mike Anthony has been a professional actor and a (not-professional) bartender. It was in the role of the latter that he was lucky enough to experience from an up- close perspective the ride that, Hamilton: An American Musical, took as it rocketed into Broadway history. His first book, Life At Hamilton, chronicles his extraordinary time there. Beyond his life in theater, Mike’s journey took an unexpected turn when his dad passed, leading him down a remarkable path of discovery. He now spends a good portion of his time exploring evidence suggestive of the survival of consciousness beyond the demise of the physical body. His new book is Love, Dad. A part of Mike’s story is told in the Netflix documentary series, Surviving Death. Find out more about Mike and his work at https://mikeanthony.com.
