These are uncertain times for so many of us. But, according to writer Maggie Jackson, perhaps there is deep wisdom to be uncovered too—surprising gifts of curiosity, creative thinking, open-mindedness, and ways forward through the (often) unpredictabilities of life.
In this conversation, Kate and Maggie discuss:
· How uncertainty might foster creativity, resilience, and mutual understanding.
· Why we avoid ambiguity and a few small steps to help us become more comfortable with not knowing.
· How the practices of imagination and perspective-taking can help us see the potential in others
· Why focusing on outcomes can close you off from picking up information, nuance, or other people's perspectives.
· Why experiences contrary to our beliefs take longer, sometimes even weeks, to process.
