Bongani Bingwa speaks with Jonathan 'Khabazela' Fairbairn about what’s going viral.

Listen to the interview in the audio below.

Life is all about choices and we probably spend hours trying to make the ‘right’ decision.

However, in a trending clip of American professor Dr Ellen Langer, she says we should focus less on making the ‘right decision’ and more on making the decision right.

Dr Langer is best known for her work on mindfulness.

When it comes to major life decisions, getting married or not, having children or not, there is no way to know how the other option would play out.

“That is why regret is so mindless, because you are presuming the choice you didn’t take would have been better.”

- Dr Ellen Langer

Instead, we have to decide and make the most of it.
