CNN's John Sutter spoke with Dan O'Brien about his research on regrets. He found that there are four categories for people to regret over and over again. The biggest category is boldness regrets, followed by connection regrets - if only i'd done the right thing. And then he looked at more painful regrets like not speaking up when someone wronged you.
