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-which has collected regrets from more than 15,000 people in 105 countries-he lays out the four core regrets that each of us has. These deep regrets offer compelling insights into how we live and how we can find a better path forward. The book lays out a dynamic new way of thinking about regret and frames his ideas in ways that are clear, accessible, and pragmatic. 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.
Daniel H. Pink is the author of five New York Times bestsellers including When, A Whole New Mind, Drive and To Sell is Human.

[@scottkim77]

Very interesting work… BUT did this guy just conflate ‘CHINESE POTTERY’ with a Japanese custom @11:30 …? How very ignorant for a well educated person…

[@HebaruSan]

Sounded like Japanese people were buying Chinese pottery, breaking it, and reassembling it

[@puiwong6436]

Not an expert here - but a quick Google search shares that one of the origin stories of kintsugi is that, a Japanese shogun broke a Chinese tea bowl and sent it back to China for repairs. Then as it was returned in a less-than-ideal state, it prompted Japanese craftsmen to develop a better way to do so, which eventually turned into kintsugi. So Dan's general recap is right!
