The Uncertainty Toolkit: How to Feel Calmer, Happier and More Confident in an Uncertain World
Not yet published
Expected 1 Jan 26What can an ex-gangland boss, a recovering addict and a refugee teach you about thriving in the face of uncertainty?
It’s the ‘Do you have five minutes?’ message from your boss. The ‘We need to chat’ from a loved one. Those spiralling thoughts at 3 a.m. and buzz of yet another breaking news alert. The potential coming waves of AI, climate change and unstable governments.
For most of us, uncertainty is paralysing. But learning to navigate it effectively means more confidence, less anxiety and deeper connection with others.
The Uncertainty Toolkit is a pioneering, evidence-based guide to doing just that. Drawing on the world’s most extensive study into ‘uncertainty tolerance’, led with professors from University College London, it explains the science behind how we cope with the unknown. This research is combined with the radical expertise of an unlikely group of experts – former addicts, hostages, gangland bosses and prisoners – who’ve turned their experience of extreme uncertainty into major mainstream success.
The result is a detailed, practical blueprint that will help anyone turn unpredictability into personal and professional growth.
