Title: Living in turbulent times.
Authors: Robson, David (AUTHOR)
Source: New Scientist. 1/17/2026, Vol. 269 Issue 3578, p26-26. 1p. 2 Color Photographs.
Subjects: Anxiety, Uncertainty (Information theory), Emotion regulation, Psychological resilience, Mindfulness, Decision making, Self-help materials
Abstract: The article explores the concept of managing anxiety in the face of rapid change, as presented in "The Uncertainty Toolkit" by Sam Conniff and Katherine Templar-Lewis. The authors, alongside a group of diverse individuals known as Uncertainty Experts, propose a framework encapsulated by the acronym FFS, which stands for fear, fog, and stasis, to address the emotional challenges of uncertainty. The toolkit includes various strategies for emotional regulation, such as mindfulness and reflective exercises, aimed at transforming negative perceptions of uncertainty into positive ones. Despite some criticisms regarding repetition and the inclusion of questionable sources, the book offers valuable insights into decision-making and personal growth. [Extracted from the article]
