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. 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.
That is, unless you know how to use it to your advantage. Fields draws
on leading-edge technology, cognitive science, and ancient
awareness-focusing techniques in a fresh, practical, nondogmatic way.
His approach enables creativity and productivity on an entirely
different level and can turn the once-tortuous journey into a more
enjoyable quest.
