An encounter at a party changed Gay Hendricks forever. A stranger asked him to imagine himself on his deathbed and to consider this question:
“Was your life a complete success?” If not, then “What would be the things you’d wish had happened that would have made it a success?” Hendricks said his deepest wish was for a loving, lasting relationship with a woman.
The stranger said, “turn that wish into a goal, and put it in the present tense.” On the spot, Hendricks came up with this goal, “I enjoy a happy marriage with a woman I adore and who adores me. I enjoy a lifelong blossoming of passion and creativity with her.”
This goal helped him create his marriage to Kathlyn, the date he’d taken to the party, and during the past 27 years they’ve become well-known relationship experts and co-authors of 9 books together. This short, focused book shows readers how to discover their own five wishes for a fulfilled life (as well as to read the stories of all five of Hendricks’s wishes). Neale Donald Walsch’s thoughtful foreword explores the power of this approach and explains why he insisted Hendricks share it with others.

Five Wishes – a great approach by appy Camper

“This book is on how to discover five wishes that will give you a fulfilled life beginning from the perspective of looking back. A stranger had asked the author to imagine himself on his deathbed and to consider this question: “Was your life a complete success?” If not, “What would be the things you’d wish had happened that would have made it a success?”
This is a great technique for unlocking the power of “tricking” ourselves into figuring out what is truly most important to us and what is our destiny. How sad to live our whole life and never really ask ourselves, “What is my destiny?” This book reminds me to focus on pursuing what is most important in life.”

“This little book has a very powerful, very simple, and life changing challenge. 5 Wishes….that’s all. The first time I read this book, I made my list and felt like I was on top of the world for weeks.
But the 5 Wishes I had listed weren’t exactly what my heart said, they were what my mind said (and still I soared for weeks!). The second time I read over the book and made my list, my 5 wishes were authentic and have been very powerful for me.
As someone who has read dozens of books trying to find the “authentic me”, this one is my favorite. It is a very quick read, but don’t let yourself get lost in the people Mr. Hendricks speaks of….get lost in yourself. I’m becoming the person I want to be now.
I’m on the “right path”. And this little book has provided me with the inspiration and desire to actually follow my heart. Thank you, Gay Hendricks!”

“This wonderful little book is based on a life-changing conversation that the author had with a man named Ed Steinbrecher. When I saw Ed’s name, it rang a bell. I suddenly remembered that in 1994 I also had a conversation with Ed. And yes, it was a life-changing experience for me, too.
It took over a year for what Ed said to me to sink in, and only then did I slowly begin to fulfill a wish that had been on the back-burner of my mind for quite some time. So much time passed, in fact, that I totally forgot that it was Ed who first inspired me to live the life I truly wished to live — as a spiritual teacher and author.
So, Ed, I now offer you a much-belated, but no-less sincere, thank you! And, of course, I want to thank Gay Hendricks for writing this remarkable book, and for sharing Ed’s question with the whole world. What a gift this book is going to be for thousands of people who will finally be able to make their fondest dreams come true! “
