Description

Author Maggie Jackson always retreated from uncertainty in her life. But when she realized that it was the moments of uncertainty that gave her unexpected clarity, she explored the effects that feeling uncertain has on the brain and our personalities. She joins Sean to talk about what she learned and how being unsure can lead to a better, more hopeful life.
