Daniel H. Pink explores the science of regret, revealing that wishing you'd done something different can help you own and change your future.

You've heard the old phrase 'no regrets.' It's become an anthem of sorts, a denial of anything negative in life.

Daniel H. Pink is a behavioral science writer, editor, and researcher whose previous books include A Whole New Mind and When.

In The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward, Pink details the fundamental categories of regret and explores three steps for helping turn it into a positive, transformational force.
