According to the World Uncertainty Index we’re living through the most uncertain times since the financial crash in 2008. Uncertainty can apply to so many things in our lives from wider issues like a turbulent economy, to decisions that might affect our future, for example choosing what to study at university, and even in the minutiae of our day-to-day lives like deciding which route will get us home in time to see our kids before bedtime. Uncertainty shows up in our lives multiple times everyday, but how do we push through it successfully without getting stuck? This is something that co-authors Sam Conniff and Katherine Templar-Lewis wanted to work out, and so they wrote a book called ‘The Uncertainty Index: How to feel calmer, happier and more confident in an uncertain world’. It serves as an interactive guide through how uncertainty shows up in our bodies and what we can do to recognise it and turn it into a positive feeling rather than a worrying one. Working alongside scientists, psychologists and case studies who have experienced some incredibly uncertain times, the book has resulted in the most extensive scientific study into Uncertainty. In this episode Stephanie speaks to Katherine about the tools we have to navigate uncertainty, why uncertainty means opportunity, and learns how you can take part in this ongoing study.
