About The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward by Daniel H. Pink

Regret is often dismissed with the slogan “no regrets,” but Daniel H. Pink argues that facing regret can be more useful than denying it. Drawing on research in psychology, neuroscience, economics, and biology, he considers how reflecting on past choices can help people make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and find greater meaning and purpose.

Pink also draws on his World Regret Survey, which gathered responses from more than 16,000 people in 105 countries. He identifies four core regrets and presents them as clues to what people value. A practical, science-based three-step process offers readers a way to use those reflections constructively. This self-help book may suit readers interested in psychology, personal development, and applying research to everyday decisions.
