Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing Kindle Edition

This book has so many wonderful insights to share and the writing is gripping and your heartstrings are along for the ride like it or not. I absolutely loved it and was already thinking of all the people I would recommend it to when I got to the really dark chapter about her losing touch with reality and basically planning her own suicide. Honestly it negated a lot of the beautiful things that had been shared prior, and without much insight into WHY she was suddenly so depressed and done with life (lots of vague illusions to a tough past) she mostly comes off as just plain whiny and ungrateful. I nearly put the book down it was so bad. She did seem to redeem her original message in the chapters following, but the book would have been complete and fantastic without her sidebar woah is me tangent of destitution. If I recommend this book now I feel like I have to add the caveat that the reader should skip that chapter. Otherwise I loved the content and the messages passed on.

The writing is terrible. There is no focus to the narrative, and she just repeats and repeats and repeats. Obviously the "Five Regrets" can be summed up in five sentences, which they are. Unfortunately, the rest of the book is nothing but an aimless, non-linear summary of her aimless, non-linear life, with an unfortunate focus on her "singing" "career" (Find her on Spotify, and all questions will cease.) To the authoress, I would recommend watching the film, "Interiors", and in particular, the character of Joey. That's how you paint yourself. I would also ask for my money back.

This book was more of Ware’s personal diary arranged around these regrets. I was expecting more insight into the regrets than her personal discovery of self.

Glad I came across this book. The lady writing it worked with people who were slowly losing there life and pulled various regrets and lessons she learned from them. If you can apply some of these before your own death your likely going to live a much richer life. I definitely would recommend this book to everyone and will probably gift it to people I know.

I've never cried so much when I read about the children of the lady that drank to much. I'm finding her again after they stpopped the alcohol being in her home. It brought back much much pain I hAve carried since I was 11 years old. Now I had the change to try and heal. Please read this book . I know I'm going to read it again as it deserves to be read many times. Thank you Bronnie.

Ware's personal life stories are woven with the regrets of the dying, giving the reader an abundance of ways to reflect on their own life and possibly make some adjustments.

Enlightening, resourceful, a guide to making change before it’s too late. A must read. If you want to leave this world a better place, influence others, change the way you think, stop procrastinating and read this book.

I was looking forward to reading this. I love to read and this was off my path of what I normally choose. I’m disappointed in the writing style and grammatical errors in the book. The book lacked focus. It’s taken me so long to read because it’s all about her and that’s not interesting. I don’t think I’ll finish this book. Off to donate it goes.

The authoress focused too much on telling us about her way of life, and presenting her good deeds and free lifestyle which I did judge, and so will others from the hardworking western part of the world, as using her situation to live quote "mortgage and rent free", not appealing, and unnecessary to the book content. I would rather that the focus was on the most important part of the book, the 5 regrets, then it could have been 60% shorter. The take away for me was not the regrets, but the focus on the taboo of death which we push off and deny. I certainly am intent on remedying this.

I've heard people mention this book over the last few years and one day decided to get it and read it. It was a life lesson. The journey we all take, towards the same destination. A beautiful way to teach us all how to live a fulfilled life every day. I love this book

The book is very much about the author's search for a meaningful life. The work with the dying is part of this journey. Given the title I was expecting more deep insights and valuable messages from the dying but instead I found a story of deep compassion and loving for humanity and how the author was impacted by working with the dying.

After working in palliative care for fifty years I was absolutely delighted to read this book. It interweaves beautifully written accounts of the lives and deaths of Bronnies patients. It also tells the story of Bronnies life. It has a book of love , compassion and hope.

It made me realise that I need a bucket list, however moderate.
