'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 is was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the requests of many, Bronnie now shares her own 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 is 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.' (Publication summary)
