Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Life changing perspective!

Publisher's Summary
A courageous, life-changing memoir that teaches us to apply the lessons learned by those nearing their death to our own life.
After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with meaning. Despite having no formal qualifications or experience, she found herself working in palliative care.
During the time she spent tending to the needs of those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post about the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed to her. The post, also called 'The Top Five Regrets of the Dying', gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million people worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie now shares her personal story.
Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if they make conscious choices, to die with peace of mind. In this heartfelt retelling, Bronnie expresses the significance of these regrets. She explains how we can address these issues positively now, while we still have the time.
The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing gives hope for a better world. Bronnie's delightful memoir is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a long time. I finally listened it. It was very nice and calming. The only problem is that is a bit difficult to understand Bronnie’s Australian accent.. after a couple of chapters you get used to it. But you have to concentrate.

The book is like a huge warm hug from a very dear one. Loved every single bit of it💜
I already knew all the things she spoke about but I guess one needs to hear it from the right person. Bronnie was surely the right person for me to realise that knowing these aren't enough...I gotta apply them in my life....

Thank you Bronnie!
It was a pleasure, an eye opening experience and a validation of the current choices I am consciously making. Of the meditation path I follow personally as well as teach. As I was going through this beautiful narration by the author herself several major transformations happened. Some stuck situations dissolved through the healing process that I follow. I would like to share my experience of the last chapter. Since a couple of weeks now I was thinking on similar terms. Not to even in my mind demean someone for whatever they may have done to me. Not to throw a single word of negativity towards a fellow human even if they were just the opposite with me. By doing so in past I ended up hurting myself more than the hurt caused by the said person. I fell in my own eyes. No amount of justification could find me peace that an eye for an eye is how it should be. I can make other choices. Stay away; avoid; respectfully decline my association; but in no way am I capable of throwing muck intentionally towards another. And while I was going through the last chapter it made so much sense. It’s a beautiful book. With real life and relatable examples. Must read. Thank you Bronnie for authoring this one with so much kindness and depth. Love! Kamalika

The author uses much of the the book to describe her own life experiences at tedious length mixed with her own pocket philosophy and new age bla bla. This is not what I expected. I want my money back.

More About Her Life Than the Dying
The book's title is a bit deceptive. It's really about her journey as a caretaker in the persons she ran across. While her sample size is larger than most people would have, it's far from a scientific study. Nonetheless the points are well-made, and it's hard to argue with some of her conclusions.

Disappointing
Base on the title, I was anxious to read this book, especially since a close family member has terminal cancer. But I bailed out a few chapters into it. The author rambles from her solo travels, to her diet, to her relationship with her mother, etc. I would have preferred that she just get to the point. Could have been a concise, easy, impactful read. Unfortunately, that is not what it is.

Deceptive Title - Don't waste your time
This is basically 90% a memoir of the author (which is basically totally boring and meandering), 5% random stories of people dying, and 5% (at best) of "regrets of the dying". Could not finish this mind numbing trash. The author should be ashamed for essentially ripping people off, because the title is totally deceptive.

Get this book in your life before it is too late!
What an emotional rollercoaster. I think Bronnie has done her "patients" proud, she has passed on what they wanted the world to know and what a great messenger she is! The messages are so strong in this book, the supporting stories increase the impact of the words greatly. Bronnie seems like a completely enlightened person, certainly a spirit making the most if her human experience, which I think adds even more impact to the words.
I think this book would be of great value to everyone. We could all learn a lot from Bronnie and a lot from those that have died...

Super inspiring book
I felt it was a heartwarming and uplifting book. It’s not a fact based ‘do this, do that’ book, but weaves the author’s life story together with the things she learnt. I felt motivated to change things in my life.
However, if you are not open to someone sharing their alternative lifestyle, this book might not be for you. Despite the many experiences of death, I feel it is an uplifting book. It left me grateful knowing, what people regret. And realising I still have the time to change things. A highly inspiring read!

This is a great book everyone should read or listen.
It talks very honestly about the experience of Bronnie working with dying people, her lessons learned and her own transformation in the process of taking care of dying people.
Reading this books let’s you learn from the regrets of others and gives clarity on how to live your life so that regret does not come to you when your time comes by.

Unsurprising regrets but important to hear
None of the five lessons are surprising. However this book is still a compelling read and will hopefully make you rethink your own life and whether you are living it to the fullest - whether you will have any regrets when your time comes. And Bronnie's tale makes you realise that your time will indeed come - and sooner than you think, which is very sobering. Yes you can just look up the five regrets and think about them, but reading this book provides background and evidence for them, making them much more real and urgent. Although Bronnie has a tendency to fall into ungrounded soliloquies which come across as a bit of mumbo-jumbo, it is also fascinating and humbling to hear about her life as a palliative carer with stories about death which most of us never directly experience in our daily lives.

A lovely story of the journey a caring and kind soul took to make others comfortable in their final days - but what they shared is what will put your life in to context. Material things are pointless, what others think is a wase of energy. Will listen to this book again I am sure.

I really enjoyed this audiobook and have just ordered the paperback as I kept wanting to pause the book and make notes! There is nothing especially surprising but a very well written reminder to take time to think about what is important and ensure that you are living a life true to yourself.

not what the title describes
first of all the narrator's voice has a smug self importance in her own 'peace'. its an unbearable arrogance. I listened to it on double speed so It was blurred.
secondly she barely speaks about the regrets of the dying. she touches on them briefly then will go on a long winded boring story about her own life. this is not what the title describes.
was really hoping for a good deep dive into the reasons for the regret and what makes them so common.
A dissapointing read.

Wasn’t what I expected
So boring
Thought it would be about interviewing people that were dying, and it wasn’t.

Pretty depressing. But had good ending
Thought provoking but depressing. Good summary at the end. But overall a bit too long.

Better for having read it
Some books are great to read just because they show off an aspect of human nature that is inspiring and uplifting. Bronnie Ware's story is inspiring. She is inspiring. A person who cares about the world and the people in it. Well put together, and easy to identify with.

Thought Provoking
I really enjoyed this thought provoking book dealing with a subject matter rarely discussed in society. I wanted an insight into a world my hubby often deals with as a Pastor, often praying for those dying or left holding their hand as they take their last breath. Thank you Bronnie for teaching us how to be kind and non judgemental. Your life lessons are valuable.

Thought provoking
Great content and message!
Whilst the book was a little too “hippie” to be totally relatable, I did enjoy being able to contrast those extremely strong view points against my own.
Definitely made me rethink my life and what I am doing in it.
