About the Book

From our careers to our politics to our personal lives, the future is unknown. And yet, our capacity to tolerate this uncertainty is in decline. How to Not Know will help you prepare for and even appreciate the uncertainty that surrounds us.

Through gripping stories of people grappling with big problems without easy answers from an economist trying to predict the next market crash to an island nation reckoning with the existential impact of climate change acclaimed journalist Simone Stolzoff shows how to develop comfort with ambiguity and build tolerance for the unknown.

Blending engrossing storytelling, research, and practical insights, How to Not Know is an essential guide to navigating uncertainty with courage and clarity.



About the Author :
Simone Stolzoff is a journalist and author from San Francisco. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and on the TED stage. His debut book, The Good Enough Job, was translated into over a dozen languages.

Review :
How to Not Know is a deeply insightful and refreshingly honest exploration of uncertainty--how it shapes our choices, relationships, and sense of self. Drawing from psychology, history, Zen philosophy, and lived experience, this compelling book is an invitation to find clarity not in certainty, but in curiosity.--Charles Duhigg, best-selling author of Supercommunicators and The Power of Habit It's rare for a book to be so insightful and narratively compelling. How to Not Know will change the way you approach uncertainty, helping you navigate the unknown with confidence and grace.--Annie Duke, best-selling author of Thinking In Bets
