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.

[@AmritBath-ck5kt]

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.🎡😘🦋✨🌸🌺🌍🐝🪞🎼🦉🌲🌙🎵🙏🪐💻🐦‍⬛😂💭🔥🪽🙃🦅🧬⏰🎡

I have to say at 65 years of age the one thing I've learned is regrets don't serve me. 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.

[@dkdisme]

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'm 72, just found this channel, been very helpful, maybe my regret will be I didn't realize the trauma I lived with, so my regret is I didn't seek the help , but maybe I will be grateful I realized it was not me, it just took me a lifetime to understand. Blessings to all.

[@lovesarita]

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!

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.

[@yolasenergies369]

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?

[@RonWesterbeek]

Only doing nothing is. Isn't it ? Well done , you did something. May deep relief express itself in love for each kid of yours, dad. Bless you, kind regards.

[@user-tp3wz9tf7b]

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

[@ElizzzaB]

@user-tp3wz9tf7b I'm so sorry. Saw someone gain alot of weight. Next time I saw them very thin. Dragged them kicking and screaming to doctor. 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.

Being aware of your priorities really matter. There are so many things that will ask for your time and attention. But I find that, if you are aware of your priorities (depending on the season of your life) then you reduce that feeling of fear of missing out.

[@mitramalekzadeh9988]

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. My father in law is in the hospital with his last breath in Ecuador. We are in Canada 🇨🇦 and so much going on with regards to my partner's family arguments about inheritance, who should go there out of 7 kids in Canada and all other matters at hand. I am going to listen to this with my partner this evening and make a decision. Wow The timing 😊❤

[@lindaelarde2692]

I love that you take summer break with your family! It's awesome modeling of a life lived on your terms...we all need to find our best life within the reality of our unique circumstances.

[@garrygrant2394]

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.

[@ruejacks]

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.

[@cindylou82kingdom36]

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.

[@oc3434]

[@ComedorDelrico]

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. ❤☮

[@samanthaphillips8943]

Amazing conversation. So honest, so profound. Wonderful

[@christinemarie2264]

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.

[@16Elless]

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.

A possible alternative could be to find out early on what you truly love doing then search for a career that matches this passion. Perhaps if your career/ job matches your passion you will not feel as stressed nor keep wanting to retire!!

Thank you! When I saw the headline of your interview. I said no way that's to heavy I cannot deal with a death story now. We just lost a family member during this Christmas 2023. He was at a party surrounded by family, friends, love ones, good foods, music and drinks so fun and bam gone. Some how I felt the need to listen to your interview. After I thought how intriguing is that to party your way out of this planet into the unknown. Thanks so much for this wonderful conversations. I realized what a wonderful way to look at life and dying not only the words but how well you'll feed of each others and passe it on to us. Great energy! Keep smiling!❤😂😊❤

Amazing insights!! Tough to put into practice, but definitely worth the effort! Congratulations on your channel, I've recommended it to all my friends. Regards from Argentina!

Please can you do a podcast about your mother. Iv been through the same thing recently. Mum is 88. Went into hospital with strangulated hernia. Not the same now cognitively. Im really. struggling. Iv done certain things to help her cognition... diet supplements exercise. I suddenly feel im the mother... and i just struggle with this. I haven't accepted it. This is the most moving video. Thank you

Unfortunately, often the meds given allow overgrowth of parasites (all viruses are parasites). I would try a gentle antiparasitic protocol . blessings

[@cambert6799]

@@auntgertrude2717 thank you.🙂 Yes the antibiotics etc did it.

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.

​@@bibphil5078 thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. 😊

What a great episode and a lovely lady. I've just shared this episode with my 19yr daughter also. Interestingly just finished reading 'Taking Stock' by Jordan Grumet which is on the same topic. Some real truths spoken in this podcast. Also, thank you when you talked about regrets. I've carried for years what I thought were regrets, and do still beat myself up on them occasionally. Saying that you just "didn't know any better at the time" has really helped lift that burden.

[@Soxieaus]

Wow, so impactful. Timing, my hubs was diagnosed yesterday with Bowel Cancer, still raw and processing what lies ahead. Nothing wakes us up like death and diagnosis does, I will buy this book, what a beautiful soul.x

[@MassageMagick1111]

I’m sorry! Wishing you and hubby well!

[@sandram6913]

I am loving this interview. Very inspiring to me to do what is true to myself. 💖💖💖

[@marthachavez2612]

Thank you Jesus and thank you for the podcasts and valuable information shared. Pray as you go and be blessed. 🙏💕🕊

[@me_rio_sola]

I come from a life of immense hardship, and I've made it my life's mission to die without big regrets. So far, seeing these top 5, I'm good on the first 4. Number 5 is still challenging, but I'll take it to heart. Thank you for this beautiful conversation.

[@davids_d3246]

The Best Podcast's episode ever.

[@ruthieb8797]

Thank you so much for this, Dr. Chatterjee. I needed to hear this at this point in my life right now. Ms. Bronnie Ware was an amazing guest. 🩵🩵🩵

[@yvonnemarks9746]

I totally agree with you to take a break you all need it. There are too many people that do the fill in's and I have never understood it at all. Be real you aren't working you will get burned out, it is the worst feeling. You certainly won't lose me to another content creator...I love listening to you and you are worth waiting for. Go enjoy your time off you are all so worth it. I don't like that work-life balance expression either lol...I thought it was just me.

[@NoahKaganprivatemessage]

Get in touch!❤️📲

[@janetkennedy3511]

[@lucretiasulimay1968]

Good for you, I'm probably going to be on a 5-week hiatus anyway as I'm able to do in my life-after I stopped working so hard🎉🎉 and then I can look forward to your show when I come back !! Have a great holiday ❤

[@ginatucker1557]

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview👍🙏🙏🙏

Far too many people do what they are told to do. Wake up. Think for yourself. Question everything.

Speak and write before dying. I Lived my life.

LOVE this conversation.... Been a nurse for a long time, including end of life care and everything talked about resonates with me! 🙏💝 SO good. Thanks for sharing this ❤❤

[@veronicadaniels3840]

I could listen to you both all night as well. Wonderful podcast! Reminds me of the NDE’s I’m listening to everyday 🩵

[@ellobelly]

I found this conversation at the right time - all of the sentiments mentioned here resonate with me deeply, especially making time and space to just be and not feeling guilty for it 🙏 I sometimes lose your content in the midst of an evolving dooming algorithm that works against me (self inflicted at times) but the honesty and authenticity in your conversations always brings me peace and back into my curiosity to grow and learn. Thank you Rangan for being so true to yourself and wanting to share the knowledge to help others x

[@edword7195]

I like the way they say its ok if someone finds a better show

[@Mantras-and-Mystics]

I regret being a "good girl" and not refusing to go with people who caused me grievous harm. I regret living a life of fear of others and how they perceived me. 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. Was supposed to die 2 years ago. I guess I'm just grateful for having the opportunity to learn. Sorry .. Having a crappy day today .. 😮‍💨

[@sheejaeldo9311]

So thankful and grateful to Dr Rangan for bringing beautiful and wonderful Bronnie to his podcast. Both of you are truly blessed for sharing your experiences to the world.

[@couldntholdacandle6681]

I used to think i regretted not keeping in contact with my friends and then with the magic of Facebook i found out i missed nothing. As for work if i hadnt of worked so hard i wouldn't of had a family.

[@michellemaine2719]

I had a midlife crisis 5 years ago and put most of these things (I am not the best at keeping in touch) to the forefront of my life. Hopefully, I will be dying with minimal regrets.

[@amandawalker6190]

Thanks for this, really interesting conversation, hadn't heard of Bronnie, but had vaguely heard of the book, which I have just bought!

[@suerospert5131]

Beautiful and moving conversation thank you! Too bad there is so many ad interruptions!

[@yin_renaissance]

you are a brilliant interviewer. very thoughtful questions that create a wonderful opening. thank you.

[@rituparnachoudhury]

Nice interview Doctor Chatterjee.... I think overall we all should follow what inner self actually love to do for the good sense of humanity..because after death this figure will be no more....if we accept mistakes positively then we can get peace and can progress...

[@geet2809]

Life is an enormous problem. Even bigger than the planet itself.

[@vickielee9397]

Very informative.

[@sammo5786]

Very idealistic to think you can just walk away from a job causing burnout when that job is also the only way you're putting a roof over your head and food on the table, let alone save.

[@sidstovell2177]

They're talking to a specific audience who have a choice. Not the young mother working a 12 hour night shift and struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over the heads of her family. While prices keep rising, and minimum wage can't keep up.

[@jameshall1648]

"Space is medicine" Agree 100%.
