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.

Purpose is an active expression of our values and our compassion for others—it makes us want to get up in the morning and add value to the world.

This fourth edition has been completely revised and updated. With a new co-author, new stories and examples and resources, it taps into the broader need for purpose in our post-pandemic world.

Burton ha estado trabajando secretamente en un proyecto online para garantizar la seguridad en un juego ambientado en un mundo virtual que se parece vagamente a Londres, pero con un aire aún más extraño. Flynne y Wilf están a punto de conocerse.
