Even Oprah has regrets


I saw an interview with Oprah the other day.


She said she has regrets.


What?


We all have regrets.


Even Oprah.


Oprah said her biggest regret was she didn't take a break after ending her show after 20 years.


She changed her focus from her show to the Oprah Network and other projects.


Looking back, she said she should have taken a year off before jumping into something new.


She earned a well deserved break and didn't take it.


Today, in the Mastermind Book Club we're discussing
The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward by Daniel Pink.


In the
Mastermind Book Club, Tom Ruwitch and I read a book for you then discuss it in our group call.


We all have regrets and would love a lot of mulligans in our life.


The Power of Regret breaks down our regrets and shows us how our regrets are a powerful tool for self-improvement and growth.


Pink combines research in psychology, neuroscience, economics, and biology to demonstrate how understanding and embracing regret can lead to better decision-making, increased performance, and deeper meaning in life.

It turned out to be one of those events we will remember forever. Last month I was cleaning my office and picked up The Boron Letters book by Gary Halbert.

I knew John Carlton was very close to Gary so I asked him if he wanted to join us and share some Gary stories. "Hell YES!" he replied. I asked Brian...
