Product Description

Review

"Fields is a breezy, engaging writer who demystifies creativity with a whole new bag of user friendly tricks and practices-crux moves, circuit breakers, certainty anchors and attentional training. Hugely practical. Lean into Uncertainty!" (Tony Schwartz Be Excellent at Anything )

Product Description

Uncertainty will freeze you in place if you let it.
 
Jonathan Fields knows the risks—and potential power—of uncertainty. He gave up a six-figure income as a lawyer to make $12 an hour as a personal trainer. Then he signed a lease to launch a yoga center in the heart of New York City . . . the day before 9/11. But he survived, and along the way developed a fresh approach to transforming uncertainty into a catalyst for innovation and achievement.
 
Fields draws on leading-edge technology, cognitive science, and ancient awareness-focusing techniques in a fresh, practical, nondogmatic way. His approach enables creativity and productivity on an entirely different level and can turn the once-tortuous journey into a more enjoyable quest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lean in to Uncertainty 29 Sep 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Uncertainty is an important book. It takes us beyond simply acknowledging that we are (most of us) creators now, regardless of whether we artists, employees, managers or entrepreneurs. It takes us beyond acknowledging that there is fear that must be grappled with. It takes us beyond a simple call to arms. Uncertainty achieves a rare thing for books in this category covering successfully theory, inspiration and a lot of how to actually go out there tomorrow and do it.

Theory in terms of looking at how we create and where the fear and uncertainty come from. Inspiration as it is beautifully written and contains stories from the Fields himself and from others and most importantly (for me at least) actual steps of how to go out and set-up your own creative practice so that you in turn and create awesomeness.

5.0 out of 5 stars a life-changing read 16 Jun 2012
By Ace
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book a few months ago, and finally sat down today and read it cover to cover, re-reading certain key parts as necessary. It's an absolute blueprint for changing your mindset for a better quality of life. How to take the sting out of standing on the cliff edge of a new enterprise, creation or any change, which so many of us are facing these days. It has practical, authentic down-to-earth steps to encourage a YES I CAN attitude. It has definitely inspired me to identify my dream, and to go full steam ahead with it. I am also studying with him online. Really a book that I am going to recommend to all my nearest and dearest as essential reading right away!

Risk of loss has to be there. You cannot create genius without having skin in the game. Kill the risk of loss and you destroy meaning and one of the core motivations for action. &quote;
