About this ebook
Revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide with translations in 29 languages.
After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie subsequently wrote a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, to share her 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 we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind.
In this revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide, with translations in 29 languages, Bronnie expresses how significant these regrets are and how we can positively address these issues while we still have the time. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying gives hope for a better world. It 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.

I am 50/50 grateful and disappointed. If I was to edit the book I would cut about half of it out. Unfortunately I found it fairly repetitive. The story telling about the people who were dying was interesting. I didn't feel interested in any information about Bronnie's private life, nor the prison work, nor the depression part at all. It felt like part of a different book. Interesting enough: the patient stories were to the point but the moment it went into some spiritual life guidance talk it went in circles and Bronnie lost me. Perhaps those parts were harder to write but an editor should have crossed it out. No need to hear the same thing in 5 different version over 10 pages. Spirituality is part of Bronnies life but for me it disturbed the book. Maybe it just wasn't what I expected. I am glad Bronnie is doing well now and thankful for sharing the regrets of the dying she had met.
