    What makes the problem of regret much worse is that such thinking is rudimentary based on (                                        ). When confronted with a choice between a job that offers the possibility of rapid advancement and a job that offers congenial workmates, I can easily imagine finding a job that has both. This ability to conjure up ideal scenarios provides a neverending supply of raw material for experiencing regret. Thinking about the world as it isn’t, but might be or might have been, is called counterfactual thinking. The limo to the airport went on Elm Street. That’s a fact. It could have gone on Main Street. That’s contrary to fact. “If only it had gone on Main Street, I would have made my plane.” The elective course I took was a bore. The one I passed up was interesting. Those are the facts. “If only I had been willing to wake up a little earlier.” “If only it had been scheduled a little later.” Thoughts like these invoke circumstances that are contrary to fact. We couldn’t make it through the day without counterfactual thinking. Without the ability to imagine a world that is different from our actual world and then to act to bring this imagined world into being, we never would have survived as a species, much less advanced through the millions of stages of speculation and trial and error that is the history of human progress. But the downside of counterfactual thinking is that it fuels regret, both postdecision regret and anticipated regret
