Anita describes her NDE experience and what she had learned from it. It felt like reading an article more than a book. Antia learns from the other realm that we are taught from a very young again to be afraid although we shouldn’t as all our problems including her cancer she believes, stems out from her fear. She believes the power of healing comes from loving yourself and being kind to it. She describes her NDE as like waking up from a dream with complete and full senses allowing her to feel and see everything. She wasn’t anymore in a state of thinking but rather in a state of being. Time was no longer linear as she can live her past, present and the future simultaneously. She was in a state of pure and unconditional love with no judgement what so ever. She also learns that heaven is a not a place but rather a state.

I enjoyed this memoir, which focuses on the author's near death experience (NDE) and her subsequent recovery from stage 4 cancer. Her personal story and messages for living presently are definitely inspiring and worth sharing. I found part I of the book about her upbringing very rushed, as if she could not wait to share parts II (NDE) and III (post NDE). From the account of her upbringing, I could not understand her level of emotional pain that would cause her cancer. However, I think she does a better job of explaining her pain later in the book. I would have rated the book 4 stars if it was written better.

Dying To Be Me is a book that I saw numerous times while I was looking around Netgalley. I would look at it and pass thinking that I don’t know how I feel about NDE (near death experience) and it’s probably more of the same old, same old. White lights, beauty, etc. No not for me.

After finishing Wishes Fulfulled by Wayne Dyer I was drawn to read it. Dr. Dyer mentions Anita and her book numerous times. He even wrote the forward to this book. I still thought it would be the same old story but boy was I wrong!

Ms. Moorjani does not take us on the same old white light trip, nor does she preach or claim to have any answers. All she does it tell her story, her experience and take from it what you will.

While the story was inspirational and completely enthralling, I felt it was a bit New Age and focused more on what the writer achieved and can achieve on her own rather than on the spiritual and physical gift she was given in her healing.

The book was put together well and the author did a good job of laying out her story, I just felt the book was more centered on what she acheived than the amazing gift of healing she received.

Four stars for such a fascinating experience...could have used some tighter editing, perhaps. Not sure how her ideas are applicable and a couple seems contradictory, but perhaps I am not understanding her meaning. I would have enjoyed a chapter written by her husband as to his experience living with someone who has gone through this.

Near Death Experience (NDE)! Anita Moorjani got the rare privilege of witnessing/experiencing death. The healing following her Near Death Experience is really miraculous and it perfectly connects some dots which I have about spirituality and god. I’m an ardent follower of spiritual gurus and now I heard the similar thing from a person who is not a spiritual guru. What both the spiritual people and Anita Moorjani presume is almost the same. Everything, the whole universe is within us only. No need to search here and there for happiness, just have a deep dive inside the human mind and we will be able to explore the miracle called life. I believe what Anita witnessed through NDE is nothing but the revelation which guru’s like Buddha, Sadhguru experienced through meditation.
