Daniel Pink visits Google to discuss his book "The Power of Regret:
How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward.” The book demonstrates the
transforming power of our most misunderstood yet potentially most
valuable emotion: regret.
Everybody has regrets. They’re a universal and healthy part of
being human. Understanding how regret works can help us make
smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and bring
greater meaning to our lives. Drawing on research in social
psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Daniel debunks the myth of
the “no regrets” philosophy of life. Using the largest sampling of
American attitudes about regret ever conducted and his own World
Regret Survey, he lays out the four core categories of regrets that
each of us has - foundational, boldness, moral, and connection
regrets. Packed with true stories of people's regrets and practical
takeaways for reimagining regret as a positive force, The Power of
Regret shows how we can live richer, more engaged lives.
