In this episode, Dan Pink and I dive into the foreboding pool of regrets as we examine his newly released book, "The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward." Surprisingly, having regrets can bring about good. 

Topics discussed -

  • Why Dan Pink wrote about regrets
  • The four main regrets found across all cultures
  • The four ways we deal with regrets
  • How regrets provide a "photographic negative" and point us toward the good life. 
  • How age shapes our perception of regrets 
  • How long does it take for us to recognize a regret?
  • What books have been most impactful on Mr. Pink?
  • What advice does Mr. Pink have for teenagers?

Daniel H. Pink is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, "The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward," published in February. His other books include the New York Times bestsellers "When" and "A Whole New Mind" — as well as the #1 New York Times bestsellers "Drive" and "To Sell is Human."  Dan’s books have won multiple awards, have been translated into 42 languages, and have sold millions of copies around the world. He lives in Washington, DC, with his family.
