How does uncertainty lead to stress and how can we cope?

So when somebody holds a belief that is different than yours, obviously future Stewart would say, please listen to that, because maybe, maybe it turns, you know, maybe this is going to help us be smarter if we listen to this. But present Stewart is saying, you're trying to tear a hole in my identity like you're trying to tear a hole in who I am. And so that now becomes like the tiger that you have to push away. And I think that that's a lot of what the battle is. It's.

Hi, my name is Stuart Alsop, and this is my podcast, Crazy Wisdom, where I interview creative people about how they work with and manage the stress that is inherent in creative work. What I've realized over the past 10 years of my research is that anybody who is creating something of value that is significantly different from what has come before is considered crazy. Most of us have a fear, an ingrained fear of going crazy. So what I'm saying is grab onto that fear, realize that it's there, and just go with it. Because the problems we're going to be facing over the next 20 years require crazy people in order to solve them. Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom podcast. My guest here is Annie Duke. She is the author of Thinking in Bets. She's also a speaker and consultant and the co founder of How I Decide. She's also a former professional poker player. Welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you on.

Well, thanks for having me on.
