About This Episode

Is everything you do to live a life of certainty just a waste of time? You see, as humans, we really don't know very much at all. We are just a culture expected to have certainty, know everything, and clearly understand the path to our destiny.  But here's the thing, uncertainty is your friend, and security is your enemy. And while we may crave and even aspire for absolute certainty, true wisdom lives in uncertainty. 
In today's episode, Les shares some truly amazing insights on the wisdom of uncertainty. He explains the drawbacks of thinking you have all the answers and why the words "I don't know" are the most powerful words you can have in your vocabulary.
