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.

每个人都有遗憾，丹尼尔·H·平克（Daniel H. Pink）在《遗憾的力量》中解释道。它们是作为人类的一个普遍而健康的部分。了解遗憾的作用可以帮助我们做出更明智的决定，在工作和学习中表现得更好，并带给我们的生活更大的意义。

平克利用社会心理学、神经科学和生物学方面的研究，揭穿了“无憾”人生哲学的神话。他利用对美国人遗憾态度的大规模抽样调查，以及他自己建立的“世界遗憾调查”网站，该网站调查收集了105个国家超过15000人的遗憾经历，阐述了我们每个人的四个核心遗憾。这些深刻的遗憾为我们如何生活，以及如何找到更好的前进道路提供了令人信服的见解。

正如他在畅销书《驱动》、《何时》和《全新思维》中所做的那样，平克在这本书中提出了一种积极的思考遗憾的新方式，并以清晰、易懂、务实的方式构建了自己的观点。《遗憾的力量》充满了人们遗憾的真实故事，以及将遗憾重新想象成一种积极力量的实际收获，向我们展示怎样才能过上更丰富、更投入的生活。
