The Power of Regret by Daniel Pink

Read Time: < 1 min

Do you have career regrets? We’re often told not to look in the rearview mirror, but Daniel Pink‘s new evidence-based book suggests we do just that to increase our productivity, find purposeful work and take a more meaningful next step.

Negative emotions like positive ones are worth noting. They can help us learn, grow, and achieve our full potential. At the end of the day, “no regrets” may mean no growth – and that’s the most regretful choice of all.

A summary of key points to transform regret into a positive catalyst is below.
1. Undo it if you can – apologise, reconnect, take action to address it in the present
2. At least it – analyse the regret with a new perspective
3. Analyse and strategise – what can I learn from my regret?
