In November 2009, Bronnie Ware published a short essay entitled, Regrets of the Dying. It was a reflection on the years she worked in palliative care, taking care of people in the final days of their lives. She had noticed that the same basic set of profound regrets kept coming up, over and over again, as those in her charge would lie waiting for the end, often sharing the deepest parts of themselves. That short essay exploded online. It was shared, reprinted and read millions of times, leading to an international bestselling book, The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying, along with a frenzy of attention, travel and the start of a new career as a writer. Those regrets have since been discussed and deconstructed many times. They are important reminders of what truly matters in life. But, what about Bronnie? Who was this Australian artist turned banker turned palliative care-worker? What led her to do such soulful work, in a field so many others could never imagine embracing? What were the deeper drivers, hidden passions, big dreams and, also, profound and dark struggles? What happened to her after the global phenomenon took hold, shaking her existence in a powerful way, both for the better and for the worse? And, what is she up to now? I asked Bronnie these questions and more when she came to the Good Life Project studios in NYC during a monthlong trip from Australia. The conversation got very real and deeply truthful. She was incredibly generous with both her inner thoughts and beautiful lens on life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

She'd stayed with the expectations of her generation and never really ventured out of that.
And she held my hand so tightly and fiercely one day and made me promise her that I would never do the same, that I would have the courage to live a life true to myself and to do whatever my heart called me to do.
Today's guest, Bronnie Ware, kind of exploded into the published consciousness a couple of years back with a very simple blog post that she wrote.
She had spent a number of years in palliative care and she started noticing that there were common patterns, that there were common things and stories that they would share, and among them were a series of common regrets.
And she shared the most common regrets in a post that absolutely exploded.
It resonated so powerfully with millions and millions of people in the online world, which then turned around to become this huge internationally best selling book.
And I had the opportunity to actually sit down with Bronnie as she came to New York and dive not just into the five regrets, because those have certainly been covered a lot, but I got really curious, what's the deeper story here?
What was her journey?
What brought her to that point?
How has that changed her and what does she plan to do moving forward?
And it really turned into a beautiful conversation where I learned a ton, not just about her, but about what really matters in life.
I hope you enjoy it as well.

This is good life project.
It's so fun to be hanging out with you.
I'm trying to remember, I think I posted something that referenced something from you, right?
And then you chimed in and the comments, I'm trying to remember exactly what it was.
Do you remember what it was?
I wonder if Bronnie, where it was something about how I structured my article and whether I was perceiving how, considering how it would be perceived afterwards when I named it, what I did, and then someone brought it to my attention, one of my friends.
And when I looked on board, then I emailed you and said, no, I wasn't, you were right.
