Book Synopsis

Review Quotes

"Maggie Jackson's incisive and timely book is a provocative exploration of the surprising benefits of not knowing. Richly researched and briskly written, it dismantles the stigma around uncertainty - and shows how this state of mind can jolt us from intellectual complacency and foster creativity, resilience, and mutual understanding. Uncertain is a triumphant ode to the wisdom of being unsure." - Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Power of Regret, Drive, and When
