Uncertainty by Jonathan Fields

Uncertainty by Jonathan Fields

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.

Jonathan Fields is an author, entrepreneur, and speaker on a mission to assist individuals and organizations develop the personal practices, workflow adaptations, and environmental/cultural shifts necessary to become more agile, creative, and innovative, and to take action in the face of uncertainty with greater ease. Fields, a former NYC mega-firm/SEC lawyer turned serial entrepreneur, developed Sedona Private Fitness and Sonic Yoga, two cutting-edge boutique lifestyle/fitness facilities, the latter in the shadow of 9-11 in Hell's Kitchen, NY. He quickly built both companies into industry leaders, attracting international media attention and setting new standards for business, marketing, and programming trends. He finally sold both businesses so he could focus on writing, training, and speaking...as well as being a dedicated father and husband. Fields is now an author, innovation catalyst, and speaker who writes JonathanFields.com for the AdAge Power 150 and contributes to PsychologyToday.com, Amex OPENForum, and several other top-100 blogs.
