Her book is a courageous, life-changing memoir inspiring you to embrace your power of choice and the sacredness of time.įinding Brave™ with Kathy Caprino 105: Top 5 Regrets of the Dying and What We Need To Learn From Them, with Bronnie Ware Ware, who lives in northern New South Wales, is also an inspirational speaker and a passionate advocate for simplicity and leaving space to breathe. Her powerful book that followed, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed By the Dearly Departing became an international bestselling memoir, read by over one million people in 32 languages, with a movie in the pipeline. Ware’s post grabbed me by the collar and made me want to change some things about how I showed up in life. I heard the questions he asked me over and over again (forgetting that he had just uttered them a minute before) and I saw what he was most worried about. To see this vibrant man suffer from dementia and cancer and lose everything that had made him who he was in life, and to spend time in an amazing hospice facility that cared for him so beautifully, I saw firsthand what the dying feel and think as they’re nearing the end. Six and a half years ago, I lived through watching my beloved and brilliant dad slowly die of cancer that had metastasized throughout his body, and it was a devastating experience for all of us. After reading it, I was moved to do research of my own about The Top Five Regrets of Midlife Professionals, and wrote a now viral post on the those regrets and what they mean for me and many of us in midlife. It was imbued with critical life lessons that most of us just never seem to heed or understand until it’s too late. When I first read it, I found it so simple yet so powerful and poignant. And even more rarely, I’m moved to actually change how I’m living.īronnie Ware’s Regrets of the Dying blog post did that for me. But every once in a while, I come across something that’s even more impactful and life-changing for me than all the rest, that makes me stop in my tracks and think (and rethink) very hard about my own life and how I’m operating in the world, and what I truly want. Much of it shares important information aimed to help people overcome their challenges and live a happier, more fulfilling life. Each year for my work, I review and study a large amount of material-from blog posts and articles, to research studies, books, papers, TEDx talks and more.
