Why read it?

2 authors picked The Top Five Regrets of the Dying as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was curious to find how Bronnie Wave became an accidental end of life carer. I found it interesting to read this was often shaped by the outlook of those she was caring for rather than any pre-fixed ideas on her part.

I congratulate Bronnie on a career she has taken to brilliantly which also brings to the reader her unique insight.

I read this book at a time when I was contemplating changes in my life but a little stuck in my direction. The title interested me because I was getting older, and I certainly didn’t want to get to my senior years wishing I had done more.

I loved this book because it gave me a swift kick in the butt to live life to the fullest now, not later. It taught me to stop wasting time. The hopes and desires I kept pushing to the sidelines all the time now became my priorities. 

From Sandi's list on getting what you want in life.
