The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward

By Daniel H. Pink

Dubbed one of the most anticipated and inspiring business books for 2022 by CEO Today magazine and a must-read by Forbes and Newsweek, "The Power of Regret: How Looking Forward Moves us Forward" is the latest from Daniel H. Pink, author of "When" and "Drive."

In this book, Pink draws on research in social psychology, neuroscience, and biology to challenge life's "no regrets" philosophy. He examines the hidden potential of regret - how it can work to help you make smarter decisions, perform better and bring greater meaning to life.

The Infinite Game

by Simon Sinek

Simon Sinek, author of "Start With Why" and "Leaders Eat Last," provides a mindset for leading with an "infinite mindset."

"Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Ultimately, they are the ones who lead us into the future," reads the Amazon description.

Karlo Tanjuakio, CEO and founder of Kure, says Sinek's book significantly impacted how he leads his company, a project management platform for process improvement.

"Life and business aren't a zero-sum game, and anyone who operates as if they are is at a huge disadvantage," he says in a Forbes Expert Panel post.

"The journey of successful people, especially entrepreneurs, is filled with ups and downs—and the more you maintain the mindset of abundance instead of scarcity, the more successful you'll become."
