The Top Five Regrets of the Dying

Bronnie Ware spent years caring for people in the final weeks of their lives and had the courage to ask them what mattered most. The answer became The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. The most common regret was not living a life true to oneself, followed by working too hard, not expressing feelings, losing touch with friends, and not allowing more happiness. This memoir weaves her own Hero’s Journey with bedside wisdom that forces us to confront death, clarify our values, and choose differently while we still can. Big Ideas we explore include On Regret, On Death, The #1 Regret, Purpose, and Happiness, each inviting you to live with courage, presence, and far fewer regrets.
