This book, which is part memoir, part healing, and transformation, is about a woman’s near-death experience after her body was ravaged by stage-four cancer and the miraculous spontaneous healing that followed. It’s an incredible story on its own. But what I found particularly fascinating were Moorjani’s conclusions regarding the thoughts, beliefs, and life experiences that led to her illness, as well as her overall take on how readers can promote healing in their own lives. 

This book changed my life in every way. Anita’s near-death experience was so personal and profound, it stayed with me. I’ve found myself listening to the audible many times, even jumping around to different chapters that resonate more. Death is unavoidable. It’s the one truth that unites all humans - we all come to this planet the same way, and we’re all going to leave at some point, it’s just a matter of how we choose to live our life here on this earth. Anita really teaches you that love is the only answer.
