Publisher's Summary

What Happens in Tomorrow World? tells the story of Opti, Pessi, Chill, and Sage - four prizes found in a traditional arcade claw machine game, and what happens when one special player, Cayla "Catch" Alltoys, plays their game.

As Catch maneuvers the claw over, down, and around them, the four prizes face their own crisis - the possibility of what will happen when they are removed from their safe environment and thrust into the unknown "real" world. Each prize reacts in one of the four typical responses most people have to facing uncertain situations. And it is through those reactions, and subsequent actions, that they - and we - learn how our own responses to uncertainty can either help or harm ourselves, those around us, and society as a whole.

An urgently needed guide for managing the anxiety and ambiguity in our daily lives, this book will help listeners thrive in challenging situations. Through this memorable story, you'll learn: how to embrace uncertainty in all parts of life; why no single response to uncertainty works for every situation; how various personality types typically respond differently to uncertainty; why it's crucial to resist responding negatively to uncertainty; and why it's important to take action, no matter how uncertain you feel.

Playful, impactful, and cleaver.

As a transformational life coach, I can attest that this book is an incredibly timely and thought-provoking modern-day fable that will not only broaden your perspective but will leave you with a wonderful connection to the four main characters.  Jordan is super creative and takes us on a playful and impactful journey that rivals many of the great fables such as Who Moved My Cheese, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and The Wizard of Oz. Jordan explores crucial life lessons about navigating change and uncertainly – important to readers of all ages.  Bravo!  By the way, I had the urge to run to an arcade afterward and play the claw game.  

Great book! Find opportunity within uncertainty!

What haunts the anxious more than uncertainty? How do you reach your potential while adapting to a life of uncertainty? For me, the uncertainties that life offers disrupted my life for years. I remember laying in my bed as a young boy, staring at the ceiling of my room and wondering how will I handle all of the life’s potential challenges! What if I get cancer? What if I my dad dies? What if…? Cue my existential crisis. This book by Jordan Gross addresses uncertainty with a beautiful story. Jordan provides healthy approaches to uncertainty and also stresses that our reactions to uncertainty can impact ourselves and those around us for either the positive or the negative and it's our choice how we react towards uncertainty. We can’t escape uncertainty but we can find opportunities in the unknown.

Truly enlightening outlook on tomorrow...

I have know Jordan for some now and each time I read his words, a new enlightening perspective on the world is revealed. This book takes you through an in-depth vision of philosophies towards optimism and pessimistic views. Unexpected unlocking your mind to looking at tomorrow in a new light. Highly recommended!
