Accessible, research-driven and full of real stories, it's a standout addition to any non-fiction shelf.. About the Book. Everybody has regrets, and Daniel H. Pink argues they deserve far more credit than they usually get. Drawing on the largest sampling of attitudes about regret ever conducted, alongside his own World Regret Survey which gathered responses from more than 15,000 people across 105 countries, Pink identifies four core regrets that almost everyone shares, regardless of background or culture. Rather than framing regret as something to suppress or avoid, he shows how understanding these patterns can help readers make better choices, strengthen relationships and work more effectively. Written in Pink's signature style, the book blends rigorous social science with warm, memorable storytelling, making complex research feel immediately practical and relevant to everyday life. Following the success of his previous bestsellers Drive, When and To Sell Is Human, this book continues Pink's tradition of translating behavioural science into clear, actionable guidance. Whether used for personal reflection, workplace training, or book club discussion, The Power of Regret offers a refreshing new lens on an emotion most of us try to ignore, showing that looking backward, done well, is one of the smartest ways to move forward.. Identifies the four core regrets shared by people across cultures and backgrounds..
