One of the strongest negative emotions that we experience is regret – an emotion uniquely tied to how we perceive the quality of our decisions. 

So what can we do about it? New York Times best-selling author Daniel Pink joins me in this episode of the Problem Solved Podcast to discuss his new book titled Regret. In our conversation, he shares what he learned from conducting the largest sampling of American attitudes about regret ever conducted in his World Regret Survey—which has collected regrets from more than 16,000 people in 105 countries. The result: He’s identified four core regrets that most people have and how to respond well to them.

Soren Kierkegaard once said:

I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations – one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it – you will regret both.

What we might glean from this sage advice is that we should all learn more about this powerful emotion and what it can teach us about what we value in our decisions.
