A compelling journey through uncertainty, why it's a constant in our lives and careers, and how to learn to not only accept it, but thrive with it.

'Spectacular' - Daniel Pink

A guide to dealing with uncertainty at a time when our lives have never felt less certain.

From our careers to our politics to our personal lives, the future is unknown. And yet, our capacity to tolerate this uncertainty is in decline. How to Not Know will help you prepare forβ€”and even appreciateβ€”the uncertainty that surrounds us.

Through gripping stories of people grappling with big problems without easy answersβ€”from an economist trying to predict the next market crash to an island nation reckoning with the existential impact of climate changeβ€”acclaimed journalist Simone Stolzoff shows how to develop comfort with ambiguity and build tolerance for the unknown. Blending engrossing storytelling, research, and practical insights, How to Not Know is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty with courage and clarity.
