Uncertain: How to Turn Your Biggest Fear
into Your Greatest Power
By Arie W. Kruglanski
Discover how our deep desire for certainty shapes our world—and how understanding this drive can transform your life.
In Uncertain, world-renowned psychologist Arie Kruglanski explores how the human need for clarity influences our personal choices, political landscapes, and collective behavior. As traditional pillars of stability—government, work, religion, and media—erode, many of us struggle to find solid ground. From rising authoritarianism to social unrest, Kruglanski reveals how uncertainty fuels our anxieties and decision-making.
With powerful insights from psychological science, this timely and compelling book shows how becoming aware of our own cognitive biases can help us navigate chaos with wisdom and resilience. Rather than fearing the unknown, we can learn to harness uncertainty as a force for personal growth and societal change.
