Regret, the pervasive and often toxic emotional mess most of us invariably experience, need not be so painful, says best-selling author Dan Pink.

In fact, his new book The Power of Regret counsels readers to deliberately view regret as a process that can be examined in a way to help us all lead better lives.

This WLEI podcast with host Tom Ehrenfeld explores how Pink came to this conclusion and examines parallels between his approach to processing regret and Lean’s mindful approach to framing problems for continuous improvement.
