From a website so that i can look back and remember: https://www.charterworks.com/power-of...Pink points to three benefits of regret:Regret can improve decisions. Studies have shown that when people think about what they regretted not doing in the past, they made better decisions later on.Regret can raise performance. Researchers have found that experiencing even vicarious regret “infused people’s subsequent deliberations with more strength, speed, and creativity.” (p. 47)Regret can deepen meani...
Regrets, we all have a few. In the Power of Regret, Pink argues why we shouldn't live by the motto "No Regrets" because regrets actually make us better. He outlines what he considers the four core regrets: foundational regrets, moral regrets, boldness regrets, and connection regrets. He shares research on how to undo or reframe those regrets so we learn from them, and also the benefits (and drawbacks) of anticipating regret in order to make better decisions. I do wish this was either really cond...
Gave me a lot to think about.
I learned about Mr Pink’s take on regret from a podcast I regularly listen to. The short overview the author gave on that was enough to make me pre-order the book—even if it took a while for me to actually get around to reading it.

This is a pretty straight forward, standard piece of non-fiction, whereby Daniel H. Pink quotes research done in the past on regret and adds in his own opinions to it. Not really an essential read as Pink doesn't really break any new ground - however, I do like some of Pink's ideas on how we might turn things that we regret into working on our productivity and our own selves. It's an okay read, nothing ground breaking or life changing, but worth a read.
The last two chapters were outstanding, without them it didn’t worth the time.
