    What do you think you might be saying on your deathbed? Will you be looking back at your life with a sense of joy and completeness, or, do you think that perhaps you might be consumed with regret? As this week’s guest shares, “It’s easy to assume that you will live with great health to a ripe old age, then die peacefully in your sleep wearing your favourite pyjamas but it doesn’t work out that way for most people…”
    Bronnie Ware is an internationally acclaimed speaker and author of the bestselling memoir, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. Published more than 10 years ago, it’s been translated into 32 languages and continues to attract new audiences. The book is about her eight years as an end-of-life carer, the close relationships she formed, and lessons she learned from those dying people, which changed her life forever.
    In this conversation, we discuss some of the various regrets of the dying and what they can teach us so that we can live better lives, right now. We talk about the concept of choice.
    Everything we do, or don’t do, has a price - be it time or money. Our culture incentivises what we can measure - salaries, possessions, status, social media ‘likes’ and comments. But Bronnie urges us to realise the sacredness and value of our time.
    Is something a choice worth making if it means you have to sacrifice time with your loved ones? Is it worth pushing extra hard for the promotion that may bring you more money but also more stress and more time away from home? These are decisions that I think we all need to wrestle with from time to time if we are truly going to be living a contented and intentional life.
    We also talk about the real meaning of regret, what it means to be courageous, and how self-compassion can help us see our mistakes as a natural part of life and growth. Importantly, Bronnie also defines the qualities and habits she observed in those patients who reached the end of life with no regrets - what can we learn from these people?
    Death can be a topic that many people shy away from discussing but Bronnie is a wonderful soul who is able to talk about death in a relatable, powerful and authentic way. Appreciating we are going to die is the first step to getting more out of life.
    This really was a thought-provoking and intimate conversation. I hope you enjoy listening.

      There is no regret for wise & sages, life is an experience & learning certain lessons to become better from past inclination & obsession. Everything is destined. Only cinema drama can be altered inbetween not the outcome.😂 It's natural evolution of human conciousness.

      Hi Dr Rangan. I respect everyone’s opinions. I’m hoping I can help others through my life journey and experiences so far. The advice I would give someone starting right now if they told me they feel like they working too much or too hard. I would tell them to stop worrying about what other people think and want of you and start living your life. Ask yourself what makes you happy.
      Stop wasting time thinking about what you could have would have should have done differently. And start living a life that’s true to yourself. Life starts when you start living in the present moment because in spending time worrying about what you would regret on missed opportunities or Or anything you’re unhappy with, you’re just spending more time regretting. And not living.
      Happiness is something everybody should have. I hope this will help someone.🎡😘🦋✨🌸🌺🌍🐝🪞🎼🦉🌲🌙🎵🙏🪐💻🐦‍⬛😂💭🔥🪽🙃🦅🧬⏰🎡

Sure we have them but this will not be on my lips on my deathbed If I'm able I will be engaged in listening and singing to music hugging kissing and/or saying thank y'all and I love y'all. Even if I'm alone. That's all folks.

      Avoiding regrets by not acknowledging them is closing yourself off to valuable internal feedback. If you are managing to balance your life adequately without introspection, god bless you. But for the rest of us, we need to listen to those danger signals from inside. We need not to be in denial about how we can be destroying our own lives and putting ourselves in a position of deathbed regrets. Listen to yourself.

      I can’t work at the moment, but when I was a Legal Secretary, we often had long periods of down time - since I had to stay at my desk in case I was needed, I got a lot of learning in, researching health and other things that were thought-provoking! I love watching him and also “Diary of a CEO.”
      I feel exactly the same as you about tv/internet. I can’t seem to get my husband to appreciate the value in shows that give you an opportunity to enhance your own viewpoints and also allow you to consider perspectives you otherwise might haven’t thought of.
      It’s a wonderful blessing to continue seeking growth & various viewpoints - rather than mindlessly allowing useless “entertainment” to pollute your mind.

    I got to mid 40s and the biggest regret was convincing myself I had regrets. Regrets are such a waste of time. They are dependent on your own present self evaluation. If you're feeling bad... it's hard to see how great you are and what you have achieved.

      It's not too late Mary.... you might seek out a good experienced IFS therapist (that's the therapy Dr Chatterjee raves about), or if you'd rather work at the level of your biology and not 'go there' then Organic Intelligence is a very very gentle pleasurable route to healing. Or, really, any therapy that draws you. And there are always people out there offering sliding scale, if needed. Good luck!

    This is a wonderful conversation. I lost one of my kids nearly 3 yrs ago. The first feeling I felt after sobbing so hard, was a feeling of nothing in this life is worth anything. The next day, I called people that did me wrong and apologized for what happened even it happened to me. I felt a relief and hoped that I touched their heart from the ugliness of greed ..
    I don't know if made a difference but I tried. The last thing I wish anyone is to me sorry at time of death.. nothing is ever easy, is it?

      I lost my son in January 15 th 2022 I.lost my mom a week before I got my furniture and my son got sick at the same time. I.wss working 14.hour days and when I got back to my mom she didn't know who I was or.why.i.had not.come to see her and she quit eating and drinking water.. No wonder she didn't know me Before I left that day she tried to get up but she couldn't. And my son had gone blind and I checked all of his vitals and my sister in law said check his blood sugar. So I called him. And he was close to coma blood sugar was 1200 he had never been checked as a child or adult he was 6 3 and really thin with that came hashimotos hashimotos if not treated makes your heart very low and then you start to freeze.. it's a horrible death 3 days and he was gone. Because the doctor thought of us as less educated. Than.her. so my son should be here. My regrets is that I didn't kick that doctor ass lol I resent her almost to the point of hate but I did all the things that the Devine says to do and I am ready.to.live with passion in my heart and I am working out the kinks of finances

They were asking alot of questions then I said can someone do a blood sugar. They were close to 400. Urge anyone reading this get a second opinion or a third. Keep going until you get the right help. There are also Walk in clinics and Emergency Room. With anything keep going until you find the right help. Learned this at a late age.

The words I still hear the silence and they are important words. And I need to tell princess I interpeted her drawing and I was sitting at home crying and saying don't hurt them please don't. The man standing at top was a scientist and it didn't show the but they were bombing no don't hurt him going to hurt him they were they were that there are children but they're being bred should be more to be soldiers to control us things get out of hand they are half-animal half-human human human human not human clones in the reproduced until 56 weeks and placed in a womb probably where our kidnapped women are going with thier families one minute then gone

    The thing that hit me hard was when he was talking about his dad. People assume they will live to a ripe old age but when you lose your father, uncle and even friends at a young age you quickly realize you have to live NOW! Even if you can afford not to work, we need the contrast between work and leisure but the work must never take over our entire lives. Unfortunately people have been trapped thanks to inflation and our fractional reserve banking system.

    This is sooooo amazing. I'm not finished completely since I have to go to work but, so far I understand that we have certain amount of time and energy to invest on most important things in our lives, whatever it is and have no regrets at the end of our time. 3 things cane to my mind just the past 20 minutes I've listened: we have ego, some healthy some unhealthy. The fact is to acknowledge that how we react to it. Secondly: prioritize your life and get into it by making a choice and thirdly: We all are going to die, we might as well, review it before someone else write a book about our regrets.
    I can't thank you enough. I was listening to Dr Joe Dispenza when my feed called me to listen to you before my work day starts.

    It is hard for many of us to feel motivated to do the things I think we want to do. In my own case that's I think because my past efforts, when I have worked hard don't seem to have got me anywhere. Which isn't true because you learn a lot through doing but its natural to have doubts. As your guest indicated it took a lot of effort and trial to get to the good place where she is now in terms of success (in the widest sense). Worth hearing this again as its great advice from a beautiful lady.

    I wanted to say that we don’t know for sure how much of our love and care and words get through to our loved ones who are ill - physically or mentally. They have value regardless of whether they can “contribute” to the relationship as they used to do. In addition to that, holding their hands, talking to them, spending time with them also does something for US, as we do these things. It may not feel that way at the time, but we are being impacted in a positive and lasting way. When our loved ones are gone,
    those times together can be a source of great comfort as we grieve and remember them. Thank you for this conversation.

    Thank you for this wonderful video and for bringing up the topic of burnout. Six weeks ago, I felt the need to take a break from a project I've been working on and take a break from social media (which I was using for promoting and networking related to the project). At this point, I'm not sure when I will return to it. I've been viewing this as a failure on my part, but as I watch this video, I realize it's not failure---it's medicine. This period of time that I've been on "break" won't be something that I look back on with regret at the end of my life. I will probably look back and think "Thank God I had the wherewithal to take that break."
    I've now completely reframed things in my mind and I'm seeing this break as a success, not a failure. I realize now that, by taking this break, I'm winning at life. ❤☮

    I personally feel that regret is a pointless exercise. No one can go back & change anything. That said, like everyone I’ve made plenty mistakes & if I could go back to certain times I’d do things differently. I’m coming up 65, not in the best of health right now & I wish I’d taken better care of myself physically & mentally instead of taking my health for granted but it is what it is. Fast forward to the end of my life I may well wish I’d taken more risks but that’s just not in my DNA! I won’t be feeling regret. And I don’t fear death. I’m not religious but on a spiritual level I believe I’ll be moving on to a new place & maybe that’ll be the place I embrace risk and I know there are loved ones already on the other side for me to return to. Thanks Bronnie & Dr Rangan.

    Ive taken breaks from listening to your show at times when the long format shows didn’t fit into my life, but I will always come back when I am in another place. I read your book " How to Make Disease Disappear" in 2018 and that was the kickstart to my health journey. I was looking to reduce inflamation, because I was suffering pain in my hands. I still get occasional pain in my fingers, but it is so much improved. One of your podcasts in 2018/2019 you were discussing barefoot shoes and that transformed my life. I run a restaurant and am on my feet all day. My feet were in so much pain all the time prior to switching to barefoot shoes. I almost never have sore feet anymore or lower back pain. Thank you so much for your podcasts.

    A possible alternative could be to find out early on what you truly love doing then search for a career that matches this passion.

    I wish I'd allowed myself freedom to be that authentic self - no matter what the cost ..
    Now I'm stuck with a disease that's robbing me of my bodily movement .. sort of like the "freeze response" and fear I lived through all my life.
    Desperately praying, visualizing "changing my reality" etc. in an attempt to save my life.
    But I'm still going downhill.

      It is a powerful thing to have the very first authoritative voice ( by that I mean the person that helps you understand the world from babyhood) become an unreliable narrator. My mother had dementia and this would worsen after bouts of ill health. I learnt not to correct or try to get the story she was telling to conform to what I knew to be true. I had to stay in the now and appreciate what we could share and enjoy. The heart dies last and despite not being able to remember things or understand complex situation I am grateful that her loving heart reached out to her children and she was able to feel, express and receive love to the end. She died in June and though I felt grief, and still talk to her, this was perhaps mitigated by the grief I felt over the years at the loss of her sparkling mind.
