If 2020 \u2013 a year where a sudden COVID pandemic profoundly reshaped how we all work & live \u2013 taught us anything, it\u2019s that life is highly uncertain. But while we may all intellectually accept this truth, Heffernan says most of us remain addicted to prediction & routinely seek out a sense of certainty about how our futures will unfold. Heffernan\u2019s book is the focus of this podcast, & she begins by reminding us that the belief that we can accurately predict the future \u2013 whether it be by relying on complex algorithms, so-called \u201cexpert\u201d opinions or a sense that history often repeats itself \u2013 is a complete illusion. She explains that no amount of data can ever make up for the complexity of life, & the reductionist analysis we often rely on too often misses all the hidden forces at work that inevitably prove to influence outcomes. Based on her conclusion that all of us are really swimming in \u201cuncharted\u201d waters, Heffernan shares innumerable & highly innovative ways for us to successfully & creatively navigate them. If you\u2019re not already familiar with Margaret Heffernan, she\u2019s a rather brilliant person & thought leader.\u00a0 Her three previous books, \u201cBeyond Measure,\u201d \u201cWillful Blindness\u201d & \u201cA Bigger Prize,\u201d have all been critically acclaimed.\u00a0 She\u2019s also given four speeches on the TED stage that have accumulated over 12 million views so far. While all of us may wish we could have a crystal ball to reliably tell us what tomorrow will bring, Margaret Heffernan gives us second best \u2013 informed guidance on how to face down a sometimes frightening future with courage & grace.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/margaret-heffernan-how-to-face-the-future-with-confidence-courage\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/margaret-heffernan-how-to-face-the-future-with-confidence-courage\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/margaret-heffernan-how-to-face-the-future-with-confidence-courage\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Margaret-Heffernan-1000-1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Margaret-Heffernan-1000-1.jpg","width":1000,"height":1000},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/margaret-heffernan-how-to-face-the-future-with-confidence-courage\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/staging-wmplo.xyz\/mark-c-divi5\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Margaret Heffernan: How To Face The Future With Confidence &#038; Courage"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/7pu.55f.myftpupload.com\/","name":"Mark C.
