The Power of Anticipatory Regret in Making Decisions
Regret is a powerful emotion that can guide our future decisions. Bronnie Ware, a palliative nurse, discovered that one of the top regrets of people on their deathbeds is not living an authentic life. Living authentically means being true to oneself, not pretending to be someone we're not. Anticipatory regret, unlike its useless counterpart, is forward-looking and helps us make better choices by considering the potential regret we might feel in the future. So, embrace regret as a valuable tool for decision-making.
