damn breaking that people said oh my god you have that regret i have that regret too like you know and they wanted to talk about it and i think what's interesting from a writer's perspective is that sometimes i'll raise an idea or concept and people like yeah that's nice all right whatever uh you know what are we having for dinner and that's that happens a lot that's cool

But this is one where people like literally, and I mean this literally, they leaned in, that is their bodies move forward and wanting to discuss this. And that's a very good sign. And so that took me on this two and a half year journey to try to make sense of this emotion, which I think that we've misunderstood profoundly. And that also gives us hints about how to lead a better life.

So when we think about what regret is, I mean, it's certainly an emotion, and it's an emotion that makes us feel bad. And we should kind of be in awe of our ability to process regret. When you think about it cognitively, let's use my example. So if only I had taken more risks when I was in college, okay? What I do is I go back in time to when I was in college, all right?

Well, once again, I've fallen down the trap of me search because that's what this is again. So here's what happened. In 2019, I had one of those moments in life that you get to when you get to be my age. I'm in my 50s and I had a kid graduate from college. So that's kind of a jarring experience because you wonder like, how did that kid grow up so fast?

I negate what really happened, which was kind of being a little bit of a wimp. And I replace that truth with a counterfactual. So let's say that I was doing something a little gutsier, like playing a club-level sport. rather than just wimp out, right? So you know what I'm going to do?
