His fascinating titles about business and behavior include books such as “When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing” and “Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.”
His newest book, “The Power of Regret,” discusses how to use regret to move ourselves forward in life. He surveyed more than 15,000 people from around the world and uncovered some interesting facts about regret.
Daniel Pink studies things for a long time before creating books about a topic. He takes subjects that are misunderstood or complex and makes them easy to understand. He also sheds new light on old ideas.
He isn’t afraid to talk about his ownvulnerabilitiesas well. In fact, in this episode he shares some of his regrets as well as how he works on coming to terms with his failures.
Rather than simply point to himself as an expert who never makes mistakes, he shares that the reason he often studies certain topics is because he’s struggled with these things as well.
As he mentions on the show, being able to talk about vulnerabilities isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength.
How to See Vulnerability as a Strength, Not a Weakness
There are plenty of people who think having no regrets is a badge of honor in life. But the truth is, everyone probably regrets something—and that’s not a bad thing.
Knowing you can do something you regret and still be OK is a sign of strength. After all, if you lived your life to avoid ever feeling regret, you wouldn’t take many risks.
You may need to examine what you’re more likely to regret–moving to a new city or always living in the same place? Or, will you regret going after thatperson you loveor never taking the chance?
Although regret feels uncomfortable, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. We can learn a lot from regret if we allow ourselves to experience it.
