The Power of Regret

How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward
Book • 2022
In The Power of Regret, Daniel H. Pink delves into the psychology of regret, drawing on extensive research in social psychology, neuroscience, economics, and biology.

He debunks the myth of the 'no regrets' philosophy and argues that regret is a fundamental and valuable emotion.

Pink identifies four core categories of regret: foundation regrets, boldness regrets, moral regrets, and connection regrets.

These categories serve as a 'photographic negative' of the good life, revealing what people value most.

The book provides a three-step process for transforming regrets into positive forces for personal growth and better decision-making.

Pink's work is based on his World Regret Survey, which collected regrets from over 16,000 people in 105 countries, offering practical guidance on how to thrive beyond mistakes and turn regrets into learning opportunities.
