Summary

 After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with meaning. Despite having no formal qualifications or experience, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to the needs of those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote a blog post about the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed to her. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million people worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, she now shares her personal story. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, Bronnie developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if they make conscious choices, to die with peace of mind. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing is a delightful memoir and a courageous, life-changing audiobook that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.©2012 Bronnie Ware (P)2017 Bolinda Publishing Grief & Loss Personal Development Personal Success Spirituality Heartfelt Inspiring Thought-Provoking

Critic reviews

'Heart-rending.' (The Sunday Times)
'It's not hard to see why it has resonated so strongly with so many, why people post it on their Facebook pages, email it to loved ones and talk about it with friends.' (The Sydney Morning Herald)
'Ware writes of the phenomenal clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom.' (The Guardian)

This will help everyones journey in life. People with little life experience can learn lessons. People that have lived through death and problems will find comfort and familiarity, and learn some lessons too. I did feel a loss of pace in places. Still on my must read list.

In the spirit of the end of the book I don't want to be a muck spreader so I'll be careful how I word this. I think the book is lovely, with some great stories of people have lived beautiful and amazing lives. However, I did find that in places it reads as a biography of the author's life, which is interesting but I wanted to hear more about the patient's she cared for. Doesnt take away from the fact that it is a moving, thoughtful, and insightful listen.

Beautiful stories

It talks very honestly about the experience of Bronnie working with dying people, her lessons learned and her own transformation in the process of taking care of dying people.

Reading this books let’s you learn from the regrets of others and gives clarity on how to live your life so that regret does not come to you when your time comes by.

Highly recommended

I almost didn’t get this book because of some odd chap giving it a 1 star review. What an awesome book with loads to learn from people’s decades of mistakes.

As a bible-believing Christian, I had always wondered how non-Christians dealt with the difficulties & extreme pressures of life. Through this book I was able to observe parallels between Christian beliefs & some Eastern ideas expressed. The major difference was her giving thanks or expecting ‘blessings’ from the ‘Universe or Nature’ while Christians do same but to God the creator. Other similarities are, meditation, yoga class (church 😀), journaling, fasting, praying (which is also part of the Christian faith). I like that she wasn’t pushing any of the self-discovery practice in this book, but simply talking about her own personal experience.

All in all, a great read with notes taken. Worth re-listening at least once a year.

Remarkable Self-discovery journey
