ALEX OSTERWALDER, Business Theorist

Feel calm and empowered to act
Whether you are searching for the courage to start a new project, change careers, start a business, achieve personal transformation, or respond to a life change or disappointment, you will face uncertainty—that ambiguous and uncomfortable state that often makes us feel confused, anxious, and afraid to act.

From our readers
It is a must-read for any individual looking to increase their confidence and their ability to take risks and ultimately live a more fulfilled life.
With the right intention, some can use it as an overarching life guide, probably to great success. It is a book I wish I had been offered when starting my adult life. Or that it be offered to every parent, as it provides a blueprint for the blossoming of humans in the face of life uncertainties.
…a sophisticated yet accessible guide to turning uncertainty into a force for creativity, positive action and good.
A unique, powerful combination of science, philosophy, logic, history, psychology, and everything poetic, thoughtful and human unified with storytelling. With it, I can move mountains, dream bigger, and live a happier, more productive life.
This program arrived at the right moment, when I felt the need for a turning point in my professional career and even to have a project in parallel with my professional career. Here I found the tools I need to navigate through uncertain times.
The Furrs wrote a practical, extensive and personal account … copies of which I will be gifting in my network for years to come. This is a splendid job of cataloging the available scientific research on the fringes of a wide array of diverse domains, completed with interviews of some of the most expansive minds of our generation. I can’t recommend it enough.
Very useful for many reasons. 1. Recognition that uncertainty is increasing and that everybody is challenged by that. 2. The tools are very useful both from a practical as well as from a motivational point of view. 3. The stories bring it to life. Certainly a very important part of the proportion. Everything is very relevant, useful and compelling.
