The Power of Regret
Regrets? Frank Sinatra had a few. We all do. But Ol’ Blue Eyes seemed to excel at dwelling on that regret only as far as he needed to. Then he faced it all, stood tall, and did it his way. And if NYT-bestselling author Daniel Pink ("When" and "Drive") taught us how to optimize our sleep and motivate others during his previous visits to the show, he can darned well give us the key to utilizing the most human thing we do — regret — for propelling us into the future instead of dragging us back to the past.

In this episode, Daniel joins us to discuss his latest book, "The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward". Here, we’ll learn about the four core regrets we each have and understand how the insights they provide give us a path forward. We’ll also see how regret works like a photographic negative — knowing what we regret most allows us to focus clearly on how to avoid repeating whatever got us there. Listen, learn, and enjoy!

Coaching Testimonial
"The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience"
Submitted by: Karen, USA, 34
My Dating Coach really took the time to go through my profile thoroughly. First she viewed my pictures and gave me great feedback.
She read through the written portion of my profile, line by line, and gave direct feedback on how to add my personality to it.
My amazing consultant, even asked how my contacts where going and offered a few suggestions to increase my interactions with new men.
I took her advice and made the suggested adjustments.
I have received more contact from men, more views, and have started communicating with more people which was the whole point of joining the site in the first place.
The Coaching Service served as an incredible perk and has really enhanced my online dating experience. Thanks!
