I wonder how people with monumental achievements feel about that. Did Einstein feel that his life would have been better if he'd accomplished less but spent more time with family and friends? How about Erdos? Jobs? Gates (does he feel that way now)?
I suspect that people with truly significant achievements probably didn't/don't regret how they spent their time. People whose achievements mostly involve climbing the corporate ladder instead of seeing their kids' soccer games? Yeah, I bet a lot of them regret it.
