Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing
✍️ Moorjani, AnitaThis memoir chronicles Anita Moorjani's path from a traditional upbringing in Hong Kong to a life-changing medical event in early 2006. After fighting cancer for nearly four years, her organs began shutting down, sending her into a near-death state. While unconscious, she realized her inherent worth and the energetic root of her illness. She returned to consciousness and left the hospital within weeks with no trace of disease remaining. Her account examines fear, personal worth, and spiritual oneness.
Praise for this book
“Describing her ensuing near-death experience as a realm of clarity and expansiveness, 'a state of being, ' Moorjani made the choice to return, and her rapid and remarkable recovery defies all medical understanding. Her psychospiritual healing, which continues to this day, was self-realization: of her own magnificence, of oneness with universal energy and with a universe comprising. This candid memoir is a cathartic testimony to the magnificence and healing capacity of every human being.”
“This book is very thought provoking. Can we take the learnings, and make the changes, from someone else's Near Death Experience? Can I create for myself the same level of faith and knowing just by reading this book? Honestly, I don't think I can. But what I can do is open my mind that little bit more, take this book as another brick in building that wall of strength, and take her learnings with me on my own journey. I recommend that you do that same.”
“This book reminded me how important it is to live life from a place of passion rather than from a place of fear. No matter what challenge life gives us, it's really important to look for the gift in it. This book is truly amazing.”

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This book offers an inspiring look at spiritual awakening through crisis, yet it may frustrate readers seeking rigorous scientific validation or detached philosophical analysis. Those who prefer dense academic texts or skeptical critiques of near-death phenomena might find the narrative too subjective or emotionally charged. It is best for open-minded seekers willing to engage with its core message: that self-acceptance is the primary mechanism for recovery. Readers looking for step-by-step medical advice or purely historical accounts of Hong Kong culture will not find their needs met here, as the focus remains intensely personal and metaphysical rather than clinical or sociological.
