Almost exactly ten years after my first book was published — and just in time for my 40th birthday — Mastering Uncertainty is now on sale in the UK.
It’s available in hardback, paperback, e-book and audiobook — narrated by yours truly.
Here’s a few things I’d like you to know about it.
I consider it the best of my three books to date.
As you’d hope, my writing has improved significantly with a decade of practice — especially noun and verb selection, structure and texture. Consequentially the book is concise and easy to read, but also has colour and personality — a combination I find is often lacking in the genre.
I’ve kept what works.
I know what readers of my previous books have liked: real world examples and stories that bring the points to life, practical stuff that you could literally do differently immediately, strong supporting evidence and research, and chapters that you can read in a single sitting. You’ll find all those boxes ticked.
I’ve opened up a little.
Before I could share the lessons in this book I had to learn them — mostly from my co-author Csaba Konkoly — and the experience shook my tree pretty hard. It profoundly affected my worldview and caused a wholesale reassessment of many life events, all for the better I should add. It is fitting that I share these things in the book because I believe many readers will experience something similar and they should know this is a path that the author himself continues to tread.
Finally, you will learn about the following things.
1. Why the business environment is inherently unpredictable.
2. The fatal flaws at the heart of traditional business education which set people up to fail.
3. The optimum mindset to thrive in an unpredictable world, including how to begin dismantling fear of failure.
4. How to manage relationships in such a way that you can dramatically increase the likelihood of serendipitous encounters.
5. How to sell (so far this seems to be the most popular chapter which surprised me)
6. The radically different approach expert entrepreneurs take to starting new businesses
7. The ten paths to growth available to every business
8. Lessons for leaders and managers who want to create organizations that embrace and thrive on uncertainty
Hard sell over. I hope you enjoy it. Link to the amazon page in the comments.
Thanks for your support, and if you have any questions about the book I am here to answer them.
