About this listen

Knowledge and expertise are highly valued in today's business world. These values are introduced at an early age by our education system, and at work, we are assessed based on what we know, on having the answers and solutions. Our need for certainty, to know what's going on, to have all the answers, exerts strong pressure in our lives. This award-winning book offers an alternative, contrarian approach to dealing with such pressures and to embrace "not knowing" rather than fearing it. The authors argue it is by "not knowing" that we in fact develop an exploratory mindset, and we discover, engage and create new ways to deal with business and management problems and issues. The book is supported by stories of individuals and the positive change they made in their lives through "not knowing." Solving new problems with old ways of thinking are no longer useful in the new world.

There are some interesting ideas in this book about being open to new experiences, trying differs ways, keeping one’s mind open to discoveries and exploration of new ways. I found the book too lengthy and theoretical, my favourite part was in chapter 12 where the authors provided some great and practical advice. I think it would be summarised in a shorter version overall.

A bit too lengthy and theoretical to my liking
