"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 for and even appreciate the uncertainty that surrounds us.

Through gripping stories of people grappling with big problems without easy answers, from an economist trying to predict the next market crash to an island nation reckoning with the existential impact of climate change, 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.

Everyone should read!

Simone has written another masterpiece that will stay with me long after the last sentence.Now I need to buy copies for others!

Useful and pragmatic

Business applications told through interesting stories. Poignant and hopeful. Wish it had been a different reader’s voice.

This book changed how I view the choices I face daily!

This was a thought provoking book that I have read and then re-read to make sure I squeezed out every bit of wisdom I could.
My husband and I were planning our annual trip to coastal Maine as I was reading and one phrase truly resonated with me “The Prisoner of our Preferences”. This caused us to try new things-including having ice cream for dinner and then food for dessert.
This is a great read for almost anyone-thought provoking and transformative. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.
