The Power of Regret

In general, we should try to act rather than sticking with the status quo. Studies suggest that this will leave us with less regret as we age. A study by University of Illinois found students who switched their answers in a test were more likely to switch to the right answer. You had a better chance of picking the right answer if you went back on your gut decision. We are wired to think that changing from our gut decision is the wrong thing to do but science shows otherwise.
