The most common regrets.....

The most common regrets amongst 65 year olds are:

* They wished they had reflected more. People usually don't reflect on their lives until there's a crisis. The people interviewed for the book said they wished they'd taken more time to look at the big picture of their lives instead of getting caught up in all the small, petty stuff.
* The 65 year olds also wished they'd taken more risks. Not necessarily sky-diving. But being bolder in their careers and relationships.
* They wished they'd defined their purpose. They wished they'd been more concerned about their own bottom line instead of their boss.' They wish they'd asked themselves in their 40s what dent they were making in the world.
