My favourite book of the summer so far has been The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward by Daniel H. Pink. We often use phrases like #NoRegrets in our society, without actually considering that regret may have a positive flipside if we think about it differently. This book looks at the most common types of regret experienced by people around the world (the one that stood out to me is that people most often regret not taking a bold path when one was presented to them). Ultimately, if we take what we consider to be ‘regret’ and reframe it, it can be a powerful growth tool for all of us. I also love this book because it shows how much we have in common in our global community when it comes down to the fundamentals of being.
