To the creator of this channel! I wish you could see my comment. You have done priceless work than helps transform my life from a person who doesn’t like to read to a person that addicted to reading. I bought some of the books that you mention in your video and read them. As a result, they help me to change my mind. They change the way I think about my life. Last year, I had finished reading 4 books. Although that weren’t a lot, but I was so happy with that achievement. I will keep reading books as much as I can. Again, thank you so much for your hard work, sir! May God bless you and your family! A message from a Cambodian guy!
*Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think and more talented than you know, and capable of more than you can imagine. Keep putting in the work...*
Moral regrets sound like a variation of Foundation regrets and Connection regrets sound like a variation of Boldness regrets. Oooh, I like the idea of the recurring email with the template. What a clever way to plan. Thanks for these summaries, Nathan!
You are just incredible at your work, and through your book summaries you change lives, thank you from the bottom of my heart @Productivity Game, and that GOD continues blessing you.
This particular topic made me realize I have some degree of regret I didn't bother to redress. It is in light of this fact and how it framed the 4 core aspects of regret that I have some work left undone.
Nice summary. I particularly like the exercise as a way of highlighting potential sources of inaction and regret during the week ahead. Thanks, Nathan!
To the *incredible person* seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
I regret that I had been brainwashed by my parents, my school, the society for so long. After 42 years I realized what I thought was right was actually right at the first place and these people just try to brainwash other people to make them feel like losers. I don't regret other things except this thing because this thing makes and wants people to regret all the other things in their life.
Very interesting. I wonder if there is a category for the opposite of "boldness regrets". Many of my regrets include things I shouldn't have done - but it's not bad habits stuff, like eating unhealthy. Regrets include instances where I didn't listen to my instincts/intuition and entered a problematic situation where harm was caused to myself: such as doing something, that my inner voice warned me against, and then suffering some physical harm for example. Anyone else feeling these regrets of acting carelessly at times? Where would you place these?
I regret I tried too hard. I regret asking her out...I regret starting things...I regret reaching out what a waste of time. I regret planing then working those plans because most did work out. My biggest regrets are the unnecessary things I have done...like teaching English over seas...earning an Eagle Scout Award...Graduating High school could of just got a GED and got the hell out by 16...I regret getting a Black Belt...and this list of regrets go on...😢 I have finally learned to calm the Fu@k down and not try so hard. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
My theory is: regret isn’t a feeling per se. It’s what follows upon reviewing a choice or set of choices that either did not achieve the objective, resulted in negative feedback from peers, or had unforeseen negative consequences or impact outside of an action or transaction with the external environment.
The problem with regretting inaction is assuming that, if you had taken action, everything would have turned out wonderfully. Sometimes not taking action is the right thing to do.
That is true, however more often that not, we don't take opportunities even if we don't have anything to lose except for some time. Usually we just feel lazy and in the moment we rather just do something else, like play videogames. For example by applying to competitions, sure your life might not become great after you spend tens of hours practicing for that competition, however there is a chance you win or gain even better opportunities even if you "only" land in top 20%. If it goes badly, you don't really lose anything except some time. The regret comes from not taking the chance, what if you had got 3rd place and someone highly influential reach out to you and changes your life for greater? You will never know and afterwards you don't think those hours spent were worth it.
Hey Productivity Game I have much respect for you and you inspire me to read despite the fact that i hate it I just wanna know how do u do it so fast Thnx in advance
True.. but there has to be a social mechanism that inhibits the actuality of an objective. If there is no consequence, there is no need for regret.. almost a required causality.. and correlation.. it’s how a brain reaches such a conclusion of err in judgment to achieve the goal.
I heard a psychologist say each individual is naturally one or the other--redemptive or contaminative. What's the mix of natural individual types in our world?
the first time i came to realize regret when i was young. i learned that my parents tried to abort me and i died three times. today at the age of 50 still have that empinching pain on my spine and head.
Best moments 1.1 people who do not have regret have brain damage [ orbital frontal cortex is not working] or they are lying to themselves. 1.2 Regret is universal! We all feel it. [ we all feel flow too!] R is part of the shared human experience! Hence, we can normalize and neutralize this subjectively shameful feeling! [ nice phrase] 1.3 Use R to craft a redemption story! [wow what a phrase! Sounds like a superhero origin story] We tell ourselves contamination [good to bad ] or redemption stories [ bad to good] 1.4 People who replay redemption stories are happier, find more meaning. Regret is a perfect start for a R story.
1.5 Alfred Nobel Ludwig = brother accidental obituary story. It said he got rich by killing people. Alfred was horrified. Years later, when Alfred did die, he donated a huge % of his wealth, $500 million.
Hello, as we found how worth-reading this book is, we have recently created a book club where we are reading this book , the power of regret, I just wanted to inform you that we welcome new member from all around the world, so if you are eager to join us plz lemme know.
As the eldest inheritor of Hokuto shin ken said before his willful death “In my life ! I have no regrets !!! Extremely important to expand mental capacity This observation is important but acting from fear turns into a prison Beware , self governed one’s , we must all choose o it destiny …
Hello, thank you for creating these videos! However, the 1-page PDF for this book is no longer available I think? No copy was sent to my email too. Thanks!
You work hard to prepare contents. Your presentation is good. But there is only problem that you are very fast. we can't match with your unnecessary high speed. we need to watch it several times to understand your full length summary. please be a bit slow and normal being.
I Regret that Democrats cannot defeat TRUMPISM, now, with better IDEAS. I wish Democrats had IDEA CONTESTS, to ask people for ideas to beat TRUMPISM, now. Perhaps, Dan Pink can contact key Democrats, and not regret INACTION, now. thanks
Then I am happy to say I have brain damage because it is a black and white statement that only has two sides to it. See, as a nihilist, I can see that indeed regrets are the "sin" of the thinker, a logical punishment dolled out because they believe in improvement over life. No one knows if that action would have changed anything and punishing yourself for a result you cannot determine is, in itself, brain damage and torture to boot. Much like legacy is the thinker's "heaven," you must watch out for things like this when exercising critical thinking.
You're obviously not brain damaged...just using thoughts in a different manner. But, really ask yourself, haven't you done something or not sone something that sparked a moment of "instant regret"?
@@octopusfly Nope. Because there is no way to know what would have happened if that thing changed. In fact, it would more than likely be the same outcome because life itself is 95% luck and being at the right place at the right time. 5% is in your control. So, if I published a book instead of getting out of the contract, the company still would have failed, my books wouldn't have sold, and I would be back to this spot. The only difference is that a book is involved that no one would have read. No regrets for either because there is no control over the outcome and I have no allusions that I would have been a world famous author if that book was published. The main thing is to stop believing agency is the solution for an outcome. It isn't.
@@MatthewEaton This is not really true. There is always a chance that the better outcome could have happened. What you are saying is only partly true. Living life like you say keeps your heart safe from the realisation of missed opportunity and of responsibility for missing the mark.. also helps you get out of saying sorry to people because you can say "ah, it would have been the same anyway". Life is not 95 % luck. It is more like 45% luck. Meaning there is still a large percent which you can aim to control.
@@MatthewEaton this honestly doesn't sound like healthy thinking to me, more like rationalising one's way out of things, life, responsibility. Sounds kind of like this philosophy is almost all about dealing with regret by trying to avoid it, but it's still real, still there informing your conscience in order for a good decision to be made. It's like dealing with loss - trying to reason that feeling of sadness out of existence is not even necessary. Once through it healthily, one will probably be a more wise, compassionate human being. Anyway, wishing you well.

Dont “over” blame yourself meant alot thank you ♥️♥️♥️

@@plusbonus1165 I think you do.
Yet another great summary, the weekly exercise looks interesting.
Such a beautiful summary.
Thanks for telling how to focus and convert regret into power.
More power to you Nathaniel ❤♾️
Great Summary! Thank you for providing a digestible summary of the book.
Great summary. Always put together well. Thanks.
You could call it an "evolutionary mechanism" that helps us avoid harmful situations!
This is the best channel on You tube
Thankyou for this amazing summary!
If you’re watching this, I pray everything works out for you! ~❤️Nat
Well explained, easy to understand
Amazing summary!

Is there any book that Nathan read _a long time_ ago and _only somewhat_ recommends?

Hi productivity game can you please make a video on how to write a good summary out of a book like you do.
Thank you!

I am like that Canadian but I am just 18,I still have the chance but I don't have that courage.
the first time i came to realize regret when i was young. i learned that my parents tried to abort me and i died three times. today at the age of 50 still have that empinching pain on my spine and head.
