The future is always uncertain, even at the best of times, and no one could deny that we face an unusual degree of insecurity and uncertainty these days, what with the current world situation, the rapid pace of technological development, and so on. How do we cope with not knowing what's going to happen to us from one day to the next? Do we try to drown out the nagging voice of uncertainty with regular doses of oblivion? Do we try to control the uncontrollable, making ourselves more and more stressed and our lives and relationships more and more difficult and fearful? Do we kid ourselves? Or do we learn to embrace uncertainty, to make it our friend? Helping us to do this in all kinds of ways is what Embracing Uncertainty is all about. It's brilliant, giving us a deep sense of peace and confidence, whatever the future may bring. Never was a book more timely.
