The Power & Wisdom Of Being Uncertain With Maggie Jackson

In this episode we speak with Maggie Jackson about the power and wisdom of being uncertain. Maggie is an award-winning author and journalist with a global reach. Her new book, Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure, explores why we should seek not-knowing in times of flux. Uncertain has been lauded as “incisive and timely…triumphant” (Dan Pink), “surprising and practical” (Gretchen Rubin) and “remarkable and persuasive” (Library Journal). Jackson’s acclaimed book Distracted (2nd Ed, 2018) sparked a global conversation on the steep costs of fragmenting our attention. A former columnist for the Boston Globe, Maggie has written for The New York Times and many other publications worldwide. Her work has been translated into multiple languages and is widely covered by press worldwide. She lives in Rhode Island and New York City. Learning Points: 1. What is uncertainty, and what kind of uncertainty is written about in your book? 2. Why is it a good thing that uncertainty makes us uneasy? 3.
