Anita Moorjani is an author and speaker, born in Singapore and raised in Hong Kong. She is best known for Dying to Be Me (2012), her New York Times bestselling account of the near-death experience she says she had in 2006, when she fell into a coma after almost four years with lymphoma.
Brian Rose has interviewed Moorjani twice on London Real, in 2015 and 2018. She talked about her illness and coma, what she says she experienced, her recovery, and her message of living from love rather than fear.
Both interviews are listed below with a short summary.
A Journey of Healing, Transformation, and Self-Discovery (2015). Her first London Real interview, where she tells the whole story behind Dying to Be Me.
Moorjani describes being aware while in a coma in 2006, separate from her body and surrounded by a sense of unconditional love. She says this experience changed how she sees life and death.
Her central message, as she put it in 2018, is to live from love rather than fear. She believes many people live by others’ expectations and that letting go of fear allows them to be themselves.
Moorjani argues that loving and accepting yourself is the foundation of a good life. In both interviews she linked her own recovery to learning to value herself.
She has said that sensitive and empathic people often see their nature as a weakness, and argues it should be treated as a strength. This is the theme of her 2021 book Sensitive Is the New Strong.
