Summary

I’m back with NYT bestselling author and top TED speaker, Dan Pink to walk through his personal habits for success, and this habits show had a twist. Coming off our talk in episode 969 where we discussed regrets, which is the topic of his brand new book, The Power of Regret, I asked him how his research on regrets changed any of his habits. What you heard in that intro clip was him leading off with his top one, Connection regrets, and now reaching out to people more. We hit on some other habits he’s changed as a result of this regrets focus, such as he realized in the Foundation regrets piece he’s actually been too frugal over his lifetime. I also found the irony in him citing he lived in a busy urban area and prefers running on a treadmill, especially since he fell on a sidewalk while running and now has a bent pinky.

0:24.1	regretted it that really changed me and so for me, if there's a habit, it's that if
0:29.7	I'm ever at a juncture, whenever I'm at a juncture where I say, okay, should I reach out
0:35.1	or should I not reach out, I've discovered to simply be arriving at that juncture
0:39.8	answers the question that if I'm there, then the answer is reach out.
0:44.3	So when in doubt reach out, so that's changed me and that's not something that I'd done
0:47.2	a lot of in the past.
0:49.1	I was always someone who actually bought the idea completely wrong that other people
0:53.7	I interviewed bought, which is that, oh, if you reach out, it's going to feel awkward
0:57.8	and if you reach out, the person you're reaching out to isn't going to give a darn and those
