Regret is not dangerous or abnormal, it is healthy and universal, an integral part of being human, Daniel H. Pink writes in this provocative and eye-opening new book. Done right, it needn't bring us down; it can lift us up. Drawing from new research in social psychology, neuroscience, biology, and more, as well as from more than ten thousand people in thirty-five countries around the world who responded to his World Regret Survey, the largest of its kind ever conducted, Pink challenges the idea of regret being a drag on our self-esteem and outlook. In fact, understanding how regret actually works and using those insights to reframe our perspective of it will help us reclaim regret as an indispensable emotion that can help us make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and bring greater meaning to our lives.
