Dying to Live: The Journey into a Man's Open Heart is a documentary film by actor and filmmaker Ben Mittleman. The film is based on his experiences through open heart surgery while caring for his wife and his mother as they struggle with life-threatening illnesses.
Synopsis
Documentary filmmaker Ben Mittleman turns the camera on himself when confronted with the same open-heart surgery that derailed his father's life. A quest for truth, Dying to Live gives public exposure to his own fears about mortality. In the same year Mittleman's wife Valerie and mother Anne each struggle with their own life-threatening illnesses. And, it's these affairs of his heart that contain the soul of Dying to Live. A love letter to Valerie, Dying to Live reveals the raw realities of Mittleman's fight to survive and heal the women who love him. With a rare humor and spirit, an ordinary man struggles deeper into adulthood.
Outreach
The film premiered as a benefit for the Los Angeles Caregivers Resource Center and was also featured at the 2008 American Society on Aging and National Council on Aging Media Festival.Dying to Live was also screened at the Jacksonville Film Festival.
Proof of Life, is the second studio album by American rock singer Scott Stapp released on November 5, 2013. It's Stapp's first new material since the release of his 2012 uncensored memoir, Sinner's Creed, which Stapp shared his life story for the first time. "This is the most meaningful record of my career," says Stapp. "I've made a lot of messes in my life but I've learned I can take a mess and turn it into a message. This album chronicles my struggles, my journey and it's the most honest record I have ever written". The album was produced by Howard Benson and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge
Critical reception
Proof of Life has received mixed feedback from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic describes the album as "something of a travelogue of a dark night of the soul," and writes that Stapp is "at home when he's allowed to bellow alongside massive walls of guitars." Jack Arlin of SPIN said of the album, "it's oddly diverse. Stapp's reputation as a neo-grunge belter may be changing."

Dying to Live, by Edgar Winter, 1971
I always found this to be an incredibly inspirational song. Hope you enjoy it too.
Content owner: Sony Music Entertainment Type: Audio content
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion.
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective,
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said.
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective.
Sometimes it's hard to tell the livin...

Dying to be me! Anita Moorjani at TEDxBayArea
Doctors had given Anita Moorjani just hours to live when she arrived at the hospital in a coma on the morning of February 2nd, 2006. Unable to move as a result of the cancer that had ravaged her body for almost four years, Anita entered another dimension, where she experienced great clarity and understanding of her life and purpose here on earth. She was given a choice of whether to return to life or not, and chose to return to life when she realized that "heaven" is a state and not a place. This subsequently resulted in a remarkable and complete recovery of her health. Anita's riveting talk will inspire you to transform your life by living more authentically, discovering your greatest passions, transcending your deepest fears, and living from a place of pure joy. Her true story will radic...

ANITA MOORJANI BIO:
Anita Moorjani has become something of an international sensation since her book "Dying to be Me" hit the New York Times bestsellers list only two weeks after its release in March, 2012. She had experienced what most people never have; she "crossed over," and came back to share what she learned. Her remarkable NDE (Near-death experience) and subsequent healing from end-stage cancer is one of the most amazing cases ever recorded. Doctors had given her mere hours to live when she arrived at the hospital in a coma on the morning of February 2, 2006. Unable to move, and in a deep coma as the result of the cancer that had ravaged her body for nearly four years, Anita entered another dimension, where she experienced great clarity and understanding of her life and purpose here on earth, and was given a choice of whether to return to life or continue on into death. Anita chose to return to life when she realized that "heaven" is a state, not a place. This subsequently resulted in a remarkable and complete recovery of her health within days of her return.
Born in Singapore of Indian parents, Anita has lived in Hong Kong most of her life. She is multi-lingual, and from the age of two, grew up speaking English, Cantonese, and an Indian dialect simultaneously. She had been working in the corporate field for several years before her cancer diagnosis in 2002.
She is the embodiment of the truth that we all have the inner power and wisdom to overcome even life's most adverse situations, as she is the living proof of this possibility.
World-renowned author, Dr. Wayne Dyer has been instrumental in bringing Anita's story to public attention, and wrote the foreword to her book. He subsequently invited her to appear on his TV special, "Wishes Fulfilled", which airs frequently on PBS.
Following the global success of her book, which is being translated and published into 34 different languages, Anita has regularly been interviewed on various prime time television shows around the world, including three times on "Fox News" in New York, "The Jeff Probst Show" in Hollywood, cable TV's "National Geographic International", "The Pearl Report" in Hong Kong, "HeadStart" with Karen Davila in the Philippines, CNN documentary in production, among many others.
She inspires her audience to transform their lives by living more authentically, discovering their greatest passions, transcending their deepest fears, and living from a place of pure joy, and has the ability to explain such mind-bending concepts as timelessness, non-duality, and simultaneous realities, in such simplified terms that everyone can understand.
Anita is currently one of the most sought after inspirational speakers in the world and addresses sell out audiences all over the globe.

A quest for truth, Dying to Live gives public exposure to his own fears about mortality. In the same year Mittleman's wife Valerie and mother Anne each struggle with their own life-threatening illnesses. And, it's these affairs of his heart that contain the soul of Dying to Live. A love letter to Valerie, Dying to Live reveals the raw realities of Mittleman's fight to survive and heal the women who love him. With a rare humor and spirit, an ordinary man struggles deeper into adulthood.
Outreach
The film premiered as a benefit for the Los Angeles Caregivers Resource Center and was also featured at the 2008 American Society on Aging and National Council on Aging Media Festival.Dying to Live was also screened at the Jacksonville Film Festival.
Another case of I wish I wouldn't have; Another promise not to let Him down again. Fighting battles in a war I thought was over; The old man of sin died a long time ago, But left behind a sinful nature deep within, So if I want to win this fight, There's a part of me that must die, But I'm not gonna cry. CHORUS 'Cause I'm dying to live, Live for Jesus. Dying to give myself to Him, And the life that He gives will be mine If I am dying to live. Dying to live, Live for Jesus. I want to give myself to Him; Gonna give up - from now on I'm dying to live. Giving up what I can't keep anyway, To gain something that I know I'll never lose, Trading in the temporary for the eternal, And though it's settled, I'm reminded everyday; To live or die to self - it's up to me to choose, So if I want to win the fight there's a part of me That must die. Well I've said my goodbyes. (chorus)
