Regret As a Catalyst for Change

0:00

31:42

When we regret our past, it can feel like we’re incapable of
changing our future. But it may be our past “mistakes” that help us
realize there is room to evolve. In the finale episode of How
to Start Over, we explore how regret can be a catalyst of change,
what holds us back from self-forgiveness, and how to reconcile our
past mistakes—and move forward for good. Conversations with Shai
Davidai, an assistant professor at the Columbia Business School,
and forgiveness expert Everett Worthington help us identify whether
regret hinders our growth or serves as a catalyst of change. This
episode was produced by Rebecca Rashid and is hosted by Olga
