The Power of Regret | Daniel Pink | Before the Bestseller 27


I’ve been following this next guest for almost a decade. 

From his book When, to his most well known book, Drive, Daniel Pink constantly takes complex topics, performs a ton of research on the topic, and then distills it into a framework that we then get to use to make our lives better. He’s done this with selling, our internal timing system, our drive, and now he’s done this with regret.

In this episode we dive deep into regret, the topic of this latest book, the power of regret, with 5X NYT bestselling author Daniel Pink.

I make most decisions in life based around what I’m going to regret on my deathbed the most. It’s easy to think you know what you’ll regret the most but based on his research, Pink gets into the 4 most common regrets which I’ve already started to use on a daily basis to figure out what to do and what not to do.

Let’s get into it with Daniel Pink.

(don’t tell my team as I told them I’d be working the whole flight but there’s something about an airplane seat that puts me out before we’re even in the sky) and for some reason the following (hopefully useful) rant popped into my head which I’m going to share with you now. It’s a rant the summarizes the most…
