Life has a way of teaching us what truly matters, but often, those lessons come too late. In this episode, we explore the timeless wisdom that comes from facing the end of life and reflecting on what’s most important.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Bronnie Ware to discuss the top five regrets of the dying. Bronnie shares powerful lessons she learned from patients on their deathbeds during her years as a palliative care nurse. She talks about why it’s so difficult for many people to say no, how deeply ingrained people-pleasing can become in our identities, and the freedom that comes from slowing down in a world that glorifies constant hustle. Bronnie also explores how failing to express yourself can keep you from living the life you truly want. 

Bronnie Ware, author of the international bestselling memoir The Top Five Regrets of the Dying (published in 32 languages), is also a TEDx speaker who has been featured in interviews with The Wall Street Journal, ABC Radio National, Dr. Wayne Dyer, The Guardian, Marie Forleo, The Sunday Times, Lewis Howes, Harvard Business Review, and numerous other publications worldwide. Based in Australia, she advocates for simplicity and the importance of creating space to breathe, encouraging others to find courage, follow their hearts, and trust that life will provide the shortcuts.
