This is the book we've been waiting for. With his tremendous

insightful, and thought-provoking, the world's expert on the

*Daniel Gilbert, author of the New York Times bestseller Stumbling
on Happiness*
I enthusiastically recommend "Uncertain." Arie Kruglanski is one
the most prolific writers in modern psychological science. Here, he
explores the relationship that we, as humans, have with
uncertainty. He presents his fascinating research program on need
for closure. His writing is deep, full of humor, and so many great
stories of people who sought too much (or at times, too little)
certainty. The book further provides a guide for developing
self-insights into your own need for closure, so that you make
better decisions in life. If there's anything I'm certain about, is
that you'll love it
*Ayelet Fishbach, author of Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from
the Science of Motivation*
