'A brilliant new book' Daily Telegraph 'Well written . . . and
often entertaining' The Times 'A sparkling analysis' Prospect When
uncertainty is all around us, and the facts are not clear, how can
we make good decisions? We do not know what the future will hold,
particularly in the midst of a crisis, but we must make decisions
anyway. We regularly crave certainties which cannot exist and
invent knowledge we cannot have, forgetting that humans are
successful because we have adapted to an environment that we
understand only imperfectly. Throughout history we have developed a
variety of ways of coping with the radical uncertainty that defines
our lives. This incisive and eye-opening book draws on biography,
history, mathematics, economics and philosophy to highlight the
most successful - and most short-sighted - methods of dealing with
an unknowable future. Ultimately, the authors argue, the prevalent
method of our age falls short, giving us a false understanding of
our power to make predictions, leading to many of the problems we
experience today. Tightly argued, provocative and written with wit
and flair, Radical Uncertainty is at once an exploration of the
limits of numbers and a celebration of human instinct and wisdom.

A fully revised and updated second edition, including new research
and skills in the areas of trauma and compassion Disruptive
behavior in the classroom, poor academic performance, and
out-of-control emotions: if you work with adolescents, you are
well-aware of the challenges this age group presents, as well as
how much time can be lost on your lessons while dealing with this
behavior. What if there was a way to calm these students down and
arm them with the mindfulness skills needed to really excel in
school and life? Written by mindfulness expert and licensed
clinical psychologist Patricia C. Broderick, Learning to Breathe is
a secular program that tailors the teaching of mindfulness to the
developmental needs of adolescents to help them understand their
thoughts and feelings and manage distressing emotions. Students
will be empowered by learning important mindfulness meditation
skills that help them improve emotion regulation, reduce stress,
improve overall performance, and, perhaps most importantly, develop
their attention. Since its publication nearly a decade ago, the L2B
program has transformed classrooms across the US, and has received
praise from educators, parents, and mental health professionals
alike. This fully revised and updated second edition offers the
same powerful mindfulness interventions, and includes compelling
new research and skills in the areas of trauma and compassion. The
book integrates certain themes of mindfulness-based stress
reduction (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, into a program that
is shorter, more accessible to students, and compatible with school
curricula. This easy-to-use manual is designed to be used by
teachers, but can also be used by any mental health provider
teaching adolescents emotion regulation, stress reduction and
mindfulness skills. The book is structured around six themes built
upon the acronym BREATHE, and each theme has a core message: Body,
Reflection, Emotions, Attention, Tenderness, and Healthy Mind
Habits, and Empowerment. Learning to Breathe is the perfect tool
for empowering students as they grapple with the psychological
tasks of adolescence. Make this new edition a part of your
professional library today!
