625: Dan Pink | The Power of Regret

Jordan Harbinger
About this episode

Daniel Pink (@DanielPink) is the NYT-bestselling author of When and Drive. His latest book is The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us, about the transforming power of our most misunderstood yet potentially most valuable emotion: regret.

What We Discuss with Daniel Pink:
  • As uncomfortable as it can make us feel, regret is a universal, 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.

  • How we can reimagine regret as a positive, propelling force rather than an anvil of shame we have to carry around in perpetuity.
  • How regret works like a photographic negative: knowing what we regret most allows us to focus clearly on how to avoid repeating whatever got us there.
