In this book, Bronnie Ware shares her experiences from working in palliative care, where she identified the five most common regrets of the dying. These regrets include: 'I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me,' 'I wish I hadn’t worked so hard,' 'I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings,' 'I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends,' and 'I wish that I had let myself be happier.' The book provides a heartfelt and inspiring account of how these regrets can be addressed while there is still time, promoting a life of greater compassion, honesty, and happiness.
Based on Chris Guillebeau's popular online manifesto 'A Brief Guide to World Domination,' this book encourages readers to challenge conventional norms and live unconventional, remarkable lives. It explores creative self-employment, radical goal-setting, contrarian travel, and embracing life as a constant adventure. The book is organized into three parts: The Remarkable Life, Reclaiming Work, and The Power of Convergence, providing practical advice and inspiring stories to help readers design their own path to success and make a meaningful impact.
