And so I want to, I guess, hand things over to you right now so that you can bring in our first member and we can explore more what this process of thinking about making our regrets help us live the good life actually looks like.

I will.

Thank you.

Well, we have a question here from Claudia who asks, can you speak to the issue of painful life regrets, major opportunities lost?

Do you have some advice on how to avoid being paralyzed by fear or further regret?

A question from Kim.

She says, you're talking as if any bad decision or mistake is also a regret.

And I'm not sure that that's always the case.

Can you share your definition of regret?

I think especially after doing this project, what is your definition?

Well, thank you so much, Dan, for chatting with us.

And I love ending there, if not now, when.

And we will see you soon.

Thank you, Dan.

For a lot of us, this is a moment when questions of family come into sharper focus.

Who do we gather with?

Who supports us?

Who do we choose and who chooses us?

And for some of us, those answers might feel wonderfully clear, but for others, there might be a tenderness around this or a sense that your answers aren't quite what tradition tells you they should be.

And that's why our guest today feels especially essential right now.
