From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of When and Drive, a new book about the transforming power of our most misunderstood yet potentially most valuable emotion: regret.
**
Everybody has regrets, Daniel H. Pink explains in The Power of Regret. They re a universal and healthy part of being human. And understanding how regret works can help us make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and bring greater meaning to our lives.

Drawing on research in social psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Pink debunks the myth of the no regrets philosophy of life. And using the largest sampling of American attitudes about regret ever conducted as well as his own World Regret Survey which has collected regrets from more than 15,000 people in 105 countries he lays out the four core regrets that each of us has. These deep regrets offer compelling insights into how we live and how we can find a better path forward.

As he did in his bestsellers Drive, When, and A Whole New Mind, Pink lays out a dynamic new way of thinking about regret and frames his ideas in ways that are clear, accessible, and pragmatic. Packed with true stories of people's regrets as well as practical takeaways for reimagining regret as a positive force, The Power of Regret shows how we can live richer, more engaged lives.

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.

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 Surveym the largest of its kind ever conducted, Pink challenges the idea of regret being a drag on our self-esteem and outlook.
