Maggie Jackson is an award-winning author and journalist with a global reach. Her new book, Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure, explores why we should seek _not-_knowing in this era of angst and flux. Nominated for a National Book Award and named to multiple "Best Books of 2023" lists, Uncertain is an official selection of the Next Big Idea Club curated by Malcolm Gladwell, Dan Pink, Adam Grant, and Susan Cain. Lauded as "incisive and timely" (Dan Pink), "surprising and practical" (Gretchen Rubin), and "remarkable and persuasive" (Library Journal),...
…Uncertain was named a Top 10 Summer Reading pick by Nautilus magazine. The book is in a third printing, eight months after publication. Jackson’s previous book Distracted sparked a global conversation on the steep costs of fragmenting our attention. A former longtime columnist for the Boston Globe, Jackson has contributed to The New York Times and major publications worldwide. Her work has been translated into numerous languages and is widely covered by the press. She lives in New York and Rhode Island and seeks a daily dose of uncertainty by swimming in the sea nearly every day, year round. More information can be found on her website, www.maggie-jackson.com
