Uncertainty will freeze you in place if you let it.
Jonathan Fields is an author, entrepreneur and speaker on a mission
to help individuals and organizations cultivate the personal
practices, workflow adaptations and environmental/cultural shifts
needed to become more agile, creative and innovative and embrace
action in the face of uncertainty with a greater sense of ease.
A former NYC mega-firm/SEC lawyer turned serial-entrepreneur,
Fields founded two cutting-edge boutique lifestyle/fitness
facilities - Sedona Private Fitness and Sonic Yoga - the latter in
the shadow of 9-11 in Hell's Kitchen, NY. He quickly grew both into
industry-leading businesses, generating international
media-attention and raising the bar for business, marketing and
programming trends. He eventually sold both companies to focus on
writing, training and speaking...and being a strongly present dad
and husband.
Now an author, innovation catalyst and speaker, Fields writes AdAge
Power 150 blog JonathanFields.com, and contributes to
PsychologyToday.com, Amex OPENForum and a number of other top-100
blogs.
"Let's face it-the leap of faith required to follow a dream is
usually accompanied by gut-wrenching, knee-quaking, soul-shaking
fear. Jonathan Fields knows this-but instead of offering an empty
pep talk, he delivers daily practices that can help you transform
fear and uncertainty into confidence and creativity." — Daniel H.
Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind
"Uncertainty; risk; exposure to criticism. How do you conquer this
fearsome triad, so it doesn't block your path-even better, how do
you harness its power to help you achieve your goals? Jonathan
Fields uses perceptive analysis, fascinating case studies, and a
series of exercises to illuminate how uncertainty can be used as an
engine to power both innovation and creation." — Gretchen Rubin,
author of The Happiness Project
"Keats called it Negative Capability-the skill 'of being in
uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts.' Tom Thibodeaux, coach of the
Chicago Bulls, says, 'You gotta learn to be comfortable being
uncomfortable.' But nobody has nailed this faculty like Jonathan
Fields, showing us how to turn the fog of self- doubt, fear and
internal paralysis into the clear sailing of focus, concentration
and results." — Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art and Do
The Work
"Jonathan Fields' new book is brilliant and subversive. Through
sharp insights and practical exercises, he reframes doubt,
hesitation, and ambiguity as gateways to our own natural
brilliance. It's a handbook for fearless creativity and its
offshoots: meaning, authenticity, and true success." — Susan Piver,
author of The Wisdom of a Broken Heart and How Not to
"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, author of Be Excellent at Anything
"With a blend of old and new wisdom, Uncertainty equips you with
tools needed to take consistent action in the name of great work.
Great read!" — Tony Hsieh, author of Delivering Happiness and CEO
of Zappos.com, Inc.
"Too many of us sit on the sidelines of fear and doubt unable
to contribute. This masterful book will put you back in the game."
— Chris Guillebeau, author of The Art of Nonconformity
"Fear keeps scores of people stuck in careers and lives they
hate. Fields gives crystal clear guidance on how to engage with
uncertainty so that it fuels creativity and action. Your
productivity, happiness, and pocketbook will be massively improved
by reading this book." — Pamela Slim, author of Escape From Cubicle
