The Power of Regret "The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward" by Daniel H. Pink, published in 2022, challenges the common notion that regrets should be avoided and seen as negative. Pink argues that regret is a fundamental and misunderstood emotion that, if embraced and understood properly, can become a powerful tool for personal growth, better decision-making, and a more fulfilling life.
