Queens University of 夏洛特’s 学习型社会 will welcome acclaimed author and thought leader Daniel Pink as the featured speaker on Monday, October 6, 2025, at 7 p.m. 该活动将在莎拉·贝尔克·甘布雷尔艺术与公民参与中心举行。

Pink, the #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of “The Power of Regret,” “When,” “To Sell is Human,” “Drive,” and “A Whole New Mind,” will present his talk, “The Surprising Path to the Good Life,” which explores how we can lead more satisfying personal and professional lives.

In a world that often urges us to live with “no regrets,” Pink offers a compelling counterargument, asserting that regret is not a weakness but a powerful tool for growth. He’ll share insights on the four core regrets common across cultures and provide a science-based, three-step process for converting existing regrets into tools for increasing happiness and boosting performance. Attendees will also learn practical techniques like “regret circles” and “failure resumes” and discover the “Regret Optimization Principle” to help anticipate and avoid future regrets.

“We are honored to welcome Daniel Pink to our campus,” said Lori Ann Summers, vice president of university advancement. “His work offers a fresh perspective on human motivation and his unique insights on leveraging regret to elevate performance and deepen our sense of meaning align perfectly with our university’s commitment to fostering a community of lifelong learners who are prepared to navigate the complexities of the modern world with resilience and purpose.”

平克的畅销书销量超过500万册，被翻译成46种语言。 它们涵盖了广泛的主题，从人类动机到计时科学。 Beyond his writing, Pink’s career highlights include hosting a National Geographic television series, delivering one of the most popular TED talks of all time, serving as chief speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore, and even being a clue on Jeopardy.
