The Top Five Regrets of the Dying

Written By Emilie Ormond

According to Bronnie Ware’s book, the 5 most common regrets shared by people nearing death were:

  1. "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."

  2. "I wish I hadn't worked so hard."

  3. "I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings."

  4. "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."

  5. "I wish that I had let myself be happier."
