The Power of Regret with Dan Pink

Dr. Shahab Anari talks with Dan Pink about the Power of Regret. As you probably know, Dan is a multiple New York Times Best-selling author. Among his most famous books are Drive and To sell is human. I’m personally one of Dan’s huge fans because he artfully simplifies complicated concepts, he’s a fantastic story teller, and he always bases his work on evidence and scientific research.
