Daniel Pink is the New York Times bestselling author of 7 books, including To Sell Is Human, Drive, When and the most recent one The Power of Regret. His Ted Talk “The Puzzle of Motivation” has been watched over 10 million times. He notoriously writes with precision, removing all the fluff to make sure his readers get the most well-researched, most valuable insights they can apply to their life straight away. In Episode 31 I had the chance to sit down with Daniel to talk about his book “The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward” to learn about 4 biggest categories of regret. Daniel’s view is that Regret is a powerful negative emotion, that when viewed from the right perspective is extremely useful at guiding our future decisions and actions. We talked about Daniel’s own regrets, especially the biggest parenting and career regrets (apparently there are quite a few!) Daniel shared his view about how self-compassion is massively underutilised, how we as humans are over indexed on awkwardness and that small talk isn’t fluff but essential in conversations. ---------------------------------- DANIEL PINK ---------------------------------- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielpink/ Website: https://www.danpink.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielpink/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanielPink Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danielhpink Regret Survey: https://worldregretsurvey.com/ ------------------------------- FOLLOW ME ON ------------------------------- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariahvo/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariahvo/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mhvorostovsky HVO Search: www.hvosearch.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Need help HIRING - head over to - www.hirewithmaria.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEAVE A REVIEW: If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts make sure to Follow, Rate, and leave a REVIEW.
