Brought to you by Penguin.

What separates the world's most successful entrepreneurs and business tycoons from the rest? It's not their superhuman intelligence. It's something more fundamental: they understand how to turn uncertainty to their advantage.

We all know that the future is inherently unknowable, and yet we behave and plan as though it is. Once we truly understand the nature of uncertainty, though, we can take practical steps to make the most of the opportunities that come our way. In Mastering Uncertainty award-winning author Matt Watkinson and investor and entrepreneur Csaba Konkoly offer a masterclass on the workings of luck and probability. They show how to calculate when to make big bets and when to pull back. And they offer supremely practical advice on how we can improve our odds, whether through maximising our networks, learning how to read warning signs, or assessing where best to place our energies.

The unforeseen always occurs. Mastering Uncertainty shows you how to prepare for it and make the best use of it.

Reviews

Mastering Uncertainty is a comprehensive instruction manual for how to succeed in a world beyond our control. A fantastic, empowering read. Management consultants will hate this book (while secretly agreeing with it). Mastering Uncertainty is mandatory reading. Not just for company founders and leaders, but for anyone wanting to succeed in our ever-changing world. Expand reviews
