In his new book, David Frum explores the role of emotions in our lives. He argues that we should have a mix of positive and negative emotions. The most common negative emotion is regret which he says can be useful if treated right. As horrible as grief is, it has a purpose behind it, writes Frum. It's essential to diversify your emotional portfolio so you don't end up with just one kind of stock or industry.
