1. Ep. 33 Daniel Pink says there is great power in the emotion of regret Bernie Borges 41:46

This week’s guest is Daniel H. Pink.  Dan is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward. 

This episode is devoted to a conversation about the true power of regret and how we can benefit from understanding our regrets. Dan's other books include the New York Times bestseller When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, which we discuss a little near the end of our conversation. 

The Power of Regret is one of the most thought-provoking books I’ve ever read! This book really made me think. I can honestly say I’m a better thinker after reading this book. 

Dan and I discuss the 4 types of regrets:

  1. Foundation regrets
  2. Boldness regrets
  3. Moral regrets
  4. Connection regrets

More than 20,000 people across the globe have taken Dan's regret survey, sharing examples of their regrets. The common theme is that people around the world experience regret across these four types. 

“By studying regrets we have a chance at understanding a good life.”

This quote from Dan Pink in The Power of Regret, in my opinion, is the key takeaway message from this book. 

If you're even remotely tempted to skip this episode DON'T! I promise you won't regret it! There I said it. And, I mean it!!!

Bernie Borges Host Midlife Fulfilled Podcast

I started podcasting in 2013. My most recent podcast is the Midlife Fulfilled weekly podcast which launched in February 2022.

I was frustrated by a lack of fulfillment, in spite of good health, a successful career, good fitness, a healthy marriage, and overall happiness. Despite these blessings, I was lacking fulfillment.

I conducted a survey and discovered that I wasn’t alone on the journey to find more fulfillment. As an experienced podcaster, I knew that I could provide a platform to help men and women in midlife find more fulfillment and joy through a weekly podcast.
