Hey, listeners! Today we're excited to bring you a preview of another podcast we enjoy, one that will help you better navigate the changes in your own life.

It's called a slight change of plans.

On a slight change of plans, Dr. Maya Shunger, a cognitive scientist who is an expert on human behavior, examines who we are and who we become in the face of a big change.

Maya has intimate conversations with people who have faced incredible transformations, people like Casey Musgraves and Amanda Knox,

as well as everyday inspirations like Kristi Warren, a first responder who, after enduring psychological trauma from helping others in emergencies, bravely sought out help for herself.

You know that we're all about asking ourselves the big life questions and understanding how change, well, changes us.

So we think you'll find the stories on a slight change of plans to be relatable.

In this preview, Maya sits down with bestselling author Daniel Pink to talk about a feeling so many of us have experienced, regret.

Dan believes that negative emotions, you know, the ones we're trying to bury deep down and pretend don't exist, can actually be a force for good in our lives.

He thinks that we can take the feeling of regret and reframe it as an instructive emotion, one that can help us live happier, more fulfilling lives.

We hope you enjoy Maya and Dan's conversation as much as we have. You can hear the full episode and more from a slight change of plans wherever you get your podcasts.

I don't think we've done a very good job of equipping people with how to deal with negative emotions.

I think at some level we've sold them a bill of goods about the need to be positive all the time.

And what we should be doing is saying, yeah, have lots of positive emotions. They make life fantastic.

But you're going to have some negative emotions and these negative emotions are adaptive. They're functional if you know how to treat them.

That's bestselling author, Dan Pink, who believes that negative emotions can be a force for good in our lives.

Dan is most interested in the emotion of regret, which is the focus of his book, The Power of Regret, how looking backward moves us forward.

But it took Dan a while to figure out why regret was such a valuable emotion.

You know, reading through all these regrets every day here in my office, why was I not more bummed out?

I got these people opening up their hearts and telling me the mistakes that they made and how terrible they feel about it.

Why did they not bring me down? And I finally over time realized that when people tell you what they regret the most, they're telling you what they value the most.

On today's episode, how to transform our relationship with regret to live happier and more fulfilling lives.
