What If This Is Heaven?: How Our Cultural Myths Prevent Us from Experiencing Heaven on Earth Hardcover – September 13, 2016

This is one of those books I wish had been around for when I was going through middle school, high school, college, etc. The message rings so true with my soul, but no other book has managed to word it in such a pure way that is easy to digest. When I first saw each chapter listed by the popularly held belief system, I was unsure that every chapter would pertain to me. I was so wrong. Every single chapter has a valuable (and relatable) lesson. It has even helped me experience feelings of self-forgiveness for something I did 10 years ago that I still haven't let myself off the hook for! (And I've read plenty of books on forgiveness). Anita Moorjani, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful perspective with the world.

I just finished reading Anita Moorjani's second book "What If This Is Heaven?" and it is another must read! Her first book "Dying To Be Me" is incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone who has lost a family member, or has a family member who is terminally ill (or so the doctors say ;-) ) Really, as Dr. Wayne Dyer said "this book is for anyone who has ever lived or who will ever die" (paraphrased but you get the point :-) ) There is comfort and healing for those who are open to it in the pages of both books.Now this, her second book, goes more into what she learned during he NDE (Near death experience) Be prepared to read things that go against popular religious beliefs. Which for me feel like "ahha. I some how knew that!"I caution you to avoid this book if you are happy holding on to anger and judgment of those who have abused or hurt you in anyway. Because this book shines a light that, at least for me, caused a powerful feeling of "Please love yourself, please forgive yourself. I forgive you and love you and want you to be filled with joy and love in this life!" for EVERYONE who has ever hurt or wronged me in anyway!I also felt more compassion for myself, which is no doubt why I felt it so strongly for others. It all begins with loving yourself unconditionally! By the way, she explains that so beautifully in this book! They are both truly inspired books for sure and for certain.

I've finished Anita's latest book and oh my!! I'm going to go back through and do the exercises. It's so amazing to know that what I've always believed or tried to believe was not true! I was labeled at a very young age as being "bad" and "rebellious". I always felt like I was the bad girl. I acted in such a way too and I really hurt myself in the process. I'm learning from Anita HOW to love myself which is not something I've ever learned. My parents didn't know how to teach me self love. I'm determined to break the cycle with my daughters! I'm so very grateful Anita has a few paragraphs about exercises to do with children. She has blown the lid off my whole world and it feels amazing! This is the moment I've been waiting for...to learn these truths! I cannot wait to hear and see more from Anita. She is such a gift to this world! We all are! We just need to let our lights shine fearlessly!

Once again, reading Anita's struggle with her self-esteem due to others who were hurting her out of their own misery made me realize many things. This world we live in will challenge us. Anita made me realize that it's OK to love myself and to have self worth, so this way, I can help others who struggle with loving themselves. This book makes you see the bigger picture in life: to love oneself in order to love others.The book has such a great follow to it, very down-to-earth and readable, unlike many spiritual books I have read before.I would highly recommend this book for anyone who feels a lack of self worth, who has had rejection in their life at some point, or who struggles to accept themselves as they are...completely.

This book is full of anecdotes from real life that are really helpful. Anita writes each chapter to show a different situation and possible ways to understand and deal with them. She also has tips and ideas to close each chapter. This is a great way to learn. This is what I've been waiting for as a follow-up to her first book - how to live your life with the wisdom gained from an NDE or epiphany. I highly recommend it!

I usually dont write reviews on Amazon, but for some reason I feel compelled to shout out to the world about Anita Moorjani’s book What If This Is Heaven?.I didnt think Anita could surpass her first book Dying To Be Me, but her newest book What If This Is Heaven is a grand slam. This book could of not comeat a better time from me. My brother crossed over to the realm three weeks ago. I am heartbroken, but I did find comfort in reading Anita’s book. In Anita’s book she writes about the cultral myths we have come to believe in, which really has inhibited us to live a life of joy. While I watched my brother pass away. I would say to myself i dont want to live my life waiting to die. I want to live my life with joy and excitement. This is what Anita gets across to her readers. We can live our life as if we are in heaven. At the end of each chapter there are questions to ask yourself, and tips and exercises to help the reader think how can you live your life from a place of joy. Anita’s book is refreshing and you can feel her love, compassion and joy through her writing. I would recommend What If This Is Heaven?. Why wait until you are dead to live a life of joy here on earth.

Half way through this lovely book so far, been difficult to put down. I had read Anita Moorjani's incredible story of her NDE in her first book "Dying to be Me" and was overwhelmed with her story and the way in which she had written it and formed her experience into such powerful words. I did originally wonder when ordering this book whether there would be a lot of repetitiveness, however I was so pleasantly surprised. I would highly recommend both Anita's books they complement one another magnificently! I love how the chapters in this book are broken down and at the end of each chapter Anita has put down many useful questions that we could ask ourselves :-) Thank you Anita

Anita's testimony of her recovering from having (temporarily) died of cancer and the lessons she drew from this extraordinary experience is a very refreshing and welcoming take on journeying towards healing. No complicated formulas or strenuous discipline to engage with but a message that will prompt you to let your true self "sing", to find peace in all situations but most of all to love and nurture who you really are, when all expectations from others and the world have been stripped away to reveal your true magnificence.

Having read Anita’s first book, which was riveting, I wondered what else she could say that would be equally as profound and “mind blowing”! Now, I wonder no longer! This book is deeply personal, just like the first, and gives us even more wonderful insights into how to line an authentic life in the here and now. For me, the description of the tapestry of life after death is one of the most beautiful I have read, and it has so much resonance. If you want a book that will answer many of the deeper questions you’ve no doubt already bee asking, look no further!

I am a complete Devotee of Anita's writing, every book of hers makes me feel so good just to be me in fact I am perfect and whole just as I am and all is in Divine Order, I mean how much better can it get. Seriously though she is so uplifting and for those who beat themselves up this is the book to read it just takes a weight off your shoulders and makes you smile.

Just read it! Main lesson I got was love, trust and accept yourself. This I always felt I didn't know how to do, but Anita teaches you at the end of each chapter. It's a book that I will be reading over and over again.Thank you Anita
