Not yet published
Expected 30 Dec 25If it feels like the wheels have come off your world and you're daunted or exhausted at the thought of what to do next, if the struggle against constant change is leaving you weary, or you've simply come to realize that the world we live in is fundamentally uncertain, and it's about time you learnt how to embrace that, you need The Uncertainty Toolkit.
This groundbreaking book shows not only how to cope with uncertainty, but how to harness its power and transform it into opportunities for growth and creativity. Based on cutting-edge research from UCL's Brain Science department, and written by a cognitive scientist and an award-winning journalist, it unveils a roadmap for better mental health and a measurably increased tolerance for the unknown. The authors have led the world's most extensive study - also a Netflix-backed online course-cum-documentary - into how to increase Uncertainty Tolerance, and this book includes tests to measure your own, and track its improvement as you read.
Chapters include practical exercises, compelling narratives from unlikely 'uncertainty experts' including prisoners, former addicts, refugees and hostages, and insights into pioneering scientific techniques.
The book unveils a roadmap for better mental health, enhanced decision-making, increased tolerance for the unknown, and a profound understanding of how the mind and body interact. It is an invaluable guide for anyone seeking to do more and worry less in our complex and ever-changing world.

This is a great book with some of the best examples and case studies I have come across. Very inspiring. There are practical items and reflections in each chapter and the text itself is very interesting. I made note of a few of the exercises that I will try with others. Overall I really enjoyed it. Thanks to NetGalley and Pan MacMillan for the ARC.
