Publisher's Summary

A courageous, life-changing memoir that teaches us to apply the lessons learned by those nearing their death to our own life.

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 an Internet blog post about the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed to her. The post, also called 'The Top Five Regrets of the Dying', gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million people worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie now shares her personal story.

Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if they make conscious choices, to die with peace of mind. In this heartfelt retelling, Bronnie expresses the significance of these regrets. She explains how we can address these issues positively now, while we still have the time.

The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing gives hope for a better world. Bronnie's delightful memoir is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.

What a beautiful book

I absolutely adored this book, I will refer back to it for the rest of my life. Bronnies’ voice is so soothing to listen to. This book was an absolute pleasure to listen to and really puts everything into perspective for me. I believe it came into my life at the right time. Now off I go, smiling and knowing. Thank you.

This book helped me find happiness.

It was suggested by my counsellor after my miscarriage to read this book as I needed to find happiness. I could relate to this book as being a nurse I have worked in palliative care. This book taught me I need to throw away the picture I had in my mind of how my life should be and just embrace the life I do have. This book helped me come out of a very dark place after my miscarriage.

lovely

A beautiful story filled with wonderfully wise words from people who've lived, learned and let go. I found it very inspiring and enjoyed listening to the kind, warm voice of the author.

It was good

I enjoyed it, but maybe it was the tone of it which was understandably sad for the most part. I go through most audio books pretty quick, but this one took quite some time. Maybe a different narrator other than the author?

Dissapointing

Over the years I had heard so many good things about this book but after listening to it it completely ruined it. the narrating was horrific. The content and stories offered some entertainment but mostly left me feeling sad and uninspired.
