The Upside of Uncertainty: A Guide to Finding Possibility in the Unknown

A practical guide for thriving in ambiguity

This is the kind of book that makes uncertainty feel less like a threat and more like a skill you can build. It blends research, real interviews, and useful tools in a way that feels grounded rather than preachy. If you're navigating career changes, business risks, or just a messy season of life, it offers a calm, smart way to find momentum in the unknown.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Whether you're starting or running a business, searching for new ideas, or trying to advance in your career, you're likely to grapple with the unknown and unpredictable, every day. Though these moments can be difficult and uncomfortable, they also offer opportunities for personal growth, innovation, and creativity. In The Upside of Uncertainty, INSEAD professor Nathan Furr and entrepreneur Susannah Harmon Furr provide a panoramic guide to transforming uncertainty into a force for good. Drawing from hundreds of interviews, along with pioneering research in psychology, innovation, and behavioral economics, Nathan and Susannah provide over thirty tools for adopting a more positive view of what's happening, developing a vision for what to do next, and opening ourselves up to more and more possibilities. Timely and tactical, The Upside of Uncertainty provides the tools and strategies you need to thrive through life's never-ending plot twists.
