{"product_id":"9781101544532","title":"Uncertainty: Turning Fear and Doubt into Fuel for Brilliance","description":"Jonathan Fields knows the risks-and potential power-of uncertainty. He  gave up a six-figure income as a lawyer to make $12 an hour as a personal  trainer.  Then, married with a 3-month old baby, he signed a lease to  launch  a yoga center in the heart of New York City. . . the day before 9\/11.   But  he survived, and along the way he developed a fresh approach to  transforming  uncertainty, risk of loss, and exposure to judgment into catalysts for  innovation, creation, and achievement.\u003cp\u003eProperly understood and harnessed, fear and uncertainty can become  fuel for creative genius rather than sources of pain, anxiety, and  suffering. In business, art, and life, creating on a world-class level  demands bold action and leaps of faith in the face of great uncertainty.  But  that uncertainty can lead to fear, anxiety, paralysis, and destruction.  It  can gut creativity and stifle innovation. It can keep you from taking the  risks necessary to do great work and craft a deeply-rewarding life. And  it  can bring companies that rely on innovation grinding to a halt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is, unless you know how to use it to your advantage. \u003cbr\u003eFields draws on leading-edge technology, cognitive-science and ancient  awareness-focusing techniques in a fresh, practical, non-dogmatic way.  His  approach enables creativity and productivity on an entirely different  level  and can turn the once-tortuous journey into a more enjoyable quest.              Fields will reveal how to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e    \u003cli\u003eMake changes to your workflow that unlock buried creative  potential.  \u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eBuild \"creation hives\" -- supportive groups that can supercharge  and  humanize the process. \u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eTap social technology and user co-creation to add clarity,  certainty,  and sanity, even if you're an artist or solo-creator. \u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli\u003eDevelop a set of personal practices and mindset shifts that let you  not just tolerate, but invite and even amplify, uncertainty as a  catalyst for genius.    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eDrawing on extensive case studies and research, Fields shares a set  of detailed personal practices and environmental changes that can not  only humanize the creative process, but also allow individuals and  teams to stay more open to opportunity and play a bigger creative game.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133280895216,"sku":"9781101544532","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101544532_p0.jpg?v=1763688015","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101544532","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
