The Power of Regret

Drawing from new research in social psychology, neuroscience, biology and more, as well as from more than 10,000 people in 35 countries around the world who responded to his ‘World Regret Survey’ – the largest of its kind ever conducted – Pink challenges the idea of regret being a drag on our self-esteem and outlook. In fact, understanding how regret actually works and using those insights to reframe our perspective of it will help us reclaim regret as an indispensable emotion that can help us make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school and bring greater meaning to our lives. Pink sets down a dynamic new way of thinking about regret and frames his ideas in ways that are clear, accessible and pragmatic.
