Summary
‘No regrets.’ You’ve heard people proclaim it as a philosophy of life. That’s nonsense, even dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring work. Everybody has regrets. They’re a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose.
In The Power of Regret, Pink draws on research in psychology, neuroscience, economics and biology to challenge widely-held assumptions about emotions and behaviour. Using the largest sampling of attitudes about regret ever conducted from his own World Regret Survey–which has collected regrets from more than 16,000 people in 105 countries–he identifies the four core regrets that most people have. These four regrets, Pink argues, operate as a ‘photographic negative’ of the good life. By understanding what people regret the most, we can understand what they value the most. And by following the simple, science-based, three-step process that he sets out, we can transform our regrets in a positive force for working smarter and living better.
With Pink’s signature blend of big ideas and practical takeaways, captivating stories and crisp humour, The Power of Regret offers an urgent and indispensable guide for a life well-lived.

I regret buying this book
I don’t think there is enough useful information to constitute writing a book on this subject, a leaflet would’ve been fine. Everyone wants to write a book nowadays, maybe I’ll write one about this book. No regrets!

Disappointing
What a disappointing book. Pink mentioned he was not sure how to frame it. I think that is obvious. This is a book of easy soundbites. Little beyond the basic - you will regret things, use this as motivation - it brings little new to light.

Regret is good because...
... if you make bad decisions that you later don't like regret will tell you so. That's it with a lot of fluff and examples of bad decision makers having regrets.
lt would have been nice to have some balance from good decision makers explaining how they don't have regrets because they know that they couldn't have done anything better but this is not covered and dismissed. The author decides not to believe anyone who claims not to have regrets.
I've enjoyed Dan Pink's other works but this one is unfortunately bad science. And I have no regrets in saying that.

Pretty basically obvious.
Of course regret is part of reflection and those that say no regrets are likely not being honest, or are wired in a certain way. Just didn’t thing this book offered much.

Basic
This could have been a blog post. It all seemed obvious to me. The main idea was just repeated and lots of examples given. Good information for someone who doesn’t believe in regrets I think but otherwise not for me.

To regret or not to regret
This audiobooks contains plenty of useful information. Probably would be advisable to listen again and write down some of the main points. We'll done narration.

Another pseudo-science self-help book
Why would anyone consider using any form of research based on observation of monkeys in order to improve themselves?
Kind of a typical self-help book trying to cash-in on some latest science publication as a solution for managing regret.

A few interesting thoughts
Not for me. Perhaps I haven't regretted enough in life to associate with this book. There were a few interesting concepts, but nothing that would tangibly improve my life.
