It’s so easy to look back and beat yourself up about things you feel you “should” have done earlier, differently or not at all. That can lead to a spiral of self-criticism that’s not only unfair to past us, but that also makes it really difficult to move forward for fear of experiencing the same regret in the future. In this episode, I discuss a philosophical model I came across called the Justied Decision Perspective and in what ways it could help us stop beating ourselves up in hindsight and instead move forward with more learning.

If you liked this episode, you should check out my episode on why we should all be more compassionate and curious (one of the Be Your Own Best Boss series).
