单集文稿 ...

• 00:03

  In November of 2009, Bronnie Ware published a short essay entitled regrets of the dying.

• 00:08

  It was a reflection on the years she worked in palliative care, taking care of people in the final days of their lives.

• 00:14

  And she'd noticed that the same basic set of profound regrets kept coming up over and over and over again as those in her charge would lie waiting for the end, often sharing the deepest parts of themselves.

• 00:26

  That short essay exploded online.

• 00:29

  It was shared, reprinted and read millions of times, leading then to an international bestselling book, the top five regrets of the Dying.

• 00:37

  Along with a frenzy of attention and travel and the start of a new career as a writer.

• 00:42

  Those regrets have since been discussed and deconstructed many, many times.

• 00:46

  They're important reminders of what truly matters in life, and we'll talk about them a bit today.

• 00:51

  But what about Bronnie?

• 00:52

  What about the woman who actually brought these regrets to our lives?

• 00:57

  Who was this australian artist turned banker turned palliative care worker?

• 01:02

  What led her to do such soulful work in a field that so many others could never imagine embracing?

• 01:07

  And what were the deeper drivers, her hidden passions, her big dreams, and also profound and dark struggles?

• 01:13

  And what happened to her after the global phenomenon took hold, shaking her existence in a really powerful way, both for the better and for the worse.

• 01:22

  And whats she up to now?

• 01:24

  So I asked Bronnie all of these questions and more when she came to the Good Life project studios in New York City during a month long trip from Australia a little while back.

• 01:33

  The conversation got really deep, really truthful, really quickly, and she is incredibly generous with both her inner thoughts and beautiful lens on life.

• 01:41

  And I wanted to share this conversation.

• 01:44

  We aired it a couple of years back now and it feels like we have been through a year and it is a time of year where it's really powerful momentum to reflect on who you are, what you're doing, how you're devoting your energies in your life, and how you might want to be intentional about the way you really wake up in the morning and live each moment.

  Really excited to share this best of episode with you.
