Bookmarked The Problem With ‘No Regrets’ by Arthur C. Brooks (theatlantic.com)

If you never pine for a different past, you’ll stay trapped in a cycle of mistakes.

Discussing Dan Pink’s book The Power of Regret, Arthur Brooks unpacks the world of regret. He discusses the four varieties:

• Connection regret
• Moral regret
• Foundation regret
• Boldness regret

Brooks explains that the challenge is to “acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement.” To do so, he provides three steps for contemplating the past:

• Kill the ghost by owning the ghost
• Forgive yourself
• Collect your diploma and build on your experience
