4.25
(Maybe even a 4.5.) I heard the author interviewed & was interested in learning more about the boldness regrets / regrets of inaction. But this book was also useful in helping me see my action regrets in a different way - embracing them as instructional (with different approaches to doing that) instead of dwelling on them or trying to push them away. The audiobook production wasn't my favorite - having different narrators voice the different regrets didn't add much (in my opinion), and the difference in volume made it difficult to catch everything.

4.1 stars. No ragrets, (not even a letter) about reading this book. I liked hearing about what other people regretted in life and made me look back at my life thinking if I had any regrets.
The part I enjoyed most was the different types of foundational regrets and then Daniel’s suggestions for how to move past them or learn from them.
The ending has some great suggestions as well about how to avoid having future regrets.
I very much enjoyed the audiobook.

Entertaining read with some interesting insights. However, the book is quite repetitive with lots of recaps of what has been said in previous chapters. I feel a long New Yorker style article might suffice?

There was lots of interesting work and research done on regrets. It is such a pervasive human emotion, yet how we frame it can help us learn and move forward. I also enjoyed listening to the audiobook - Daniel Pink is a very compelling author and narrator.

I rarely give a "self-help" book five stars, but this one is great. Carefully analyzed and engagingly written but also straightforward and just plain useful.
