The Tendency to Avoid Uncertainty
This chapter explores why people tend to avoid acknowledging uncertainty and instead seek guaranteed results or express their beliefs with 100% certainty. It delves into the concept of confidence and how expressing uncertainty can actually convey more confidence and thoughtfulness. The chapter also examines how our beliefs are tied to our identity and why we often reject information that contradicts our beliefs.
