What if you're not sure there even is a right choice at all?

Simone talks about these questions in his new book, which is called How to Not Know the Value of Uncertainty in a World that Demands Answers.

Here's a clip from our conversation where Simone is talking about what he means by the value of uncertainty.

We're gonna talk a lot more about uncertainty and not knowing, but first I'm going to take a very specific action and that is to read you some podcast ads.

We will be right back.

And we are back.

Today on the show, we're talking with Simone Stolzow about the value of uncertainty.

Let's start by talking about what's your relationship with certainty?

What has it been in the past?

And what is it like now after writing a book about uncertainty?

Okay, so tell me more about that idea of us trying to find certainty where no certainty could be found.

Sometimes uncertainty can also be the world outside of our choices, right?

Like, I don't know.

I think a lot of people right now are feeling huge uncertainty and like,

I don't know the value of my skills.

I don't know if AI or technology is going to make my entire field disappear or all of a sudden be worthless.

I don't know if I'll keep my job.

I don't know if the country that I live will continue to be peaceful or whether it will be unstable and chaotic.

I don't know whether the money that I've been saving for retirement will be enough, like all these outside questions.

So how can we think about that kind of uncertainty, too?
