About this listen

 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)

A lot of this book is centered around the author's own life lessons too. Not bad book but you can tell this started off as an article as it could've been a lot shorter and said the same things. The narrator's voice sometimes almost put me to sleep.

More autobiographical than I realised

This audiobook moved me to tears. I can definitely relate to Bronnie Ware because I've been doing care work for about 20 years. The way Bronnie read her own book was
amazing. You can really hear the passion and the empathy which is being communicated in this audiobook. I hope this audiobook book will change your life. Many people ignore the subject of death. They tend to just sweep it away and pretend that it doesn't exist. The truth is that we are all going to die one day. Let's live a full and purposeful life so that one day we can say: "I have no regrets. I have lived a full and satisfying life".

The author is doing her best to be dramatic, there is good story telling and relatable moments. Maybe too much focus on the author herself. It's not easy to finish because of the subject yet there is a good feeling one is left with.

Sad, heavy and sweet

It has taken me a long while to get around to reading this. It is a lovely book full of learning and modelling how to live a heart (rather than head) centered life.
