On Uncertain Ground
by Rike Pätzold
Description
This book is both a declaration of love to uncertainty and a guide for handling it more openly and constructively. Based on scientific evidence and her experiences in her consulting and coaching practice, as well as a three-year sailing trip with her patchwork family, Rike Pätzold shows how we can overcome anxieties about the future and regard uncertainty as a range of possibilities instead of as a danger. Here she describes how we can become aware of our inner barriers, remove blockages through simple physical exercises, become open to outcomes, and construct a reliable safety net for ourselves. In this way, we will be able to act courageously and face the challenges of an uncertain life.
• Practical, close to life, and very understandable strategies for action
• Captivating life experiences as the background for competent life help
