In this interview segment, Jim Kwik asks for advice on handling the fear of making the wrong choice. Dr. Julie (Speaker B) explains that the common belief in a single, regret‑free "right path" is a myth; every decision carries costs and potential regrets. She emphasizes that rather than seeking a perfect path, we should set clear future goals and consciously choose the kinds of regrets we can live with, turning inevitable uncertainty into purposeful decision‑making.

What recommendation would you have for someone listening who wants to navigate the fear of making a wrong choice?
We all want to make the best decisions for ourselves and take the right path. And it's all sort of implicit with us, this idea that there is a right path and that you'll know when you're on it because you won't have any regrets or there won't be any costs to what you're doing, no losses. And it's just not true. You know, whatever path you take and whatever choices you make, there will be costs and things that you might look back and say, oh, I wonder if That would have been good. So there will be regrets, but it's choosing, as you sort of set your goals for the future, it's choosing the regrets that you know you can live with.
