Here's your second chance if you missed Maggie's fantastic YARI talk in April. And now uncertainty seems even more salient. How can unsureness help us stand up for what's right and begin to heal the divisions of our day? Why does ambivalence make leaders more resourceful? Why is the uncertainty we fear actually essential for curiosity, adaptability, and resilience?

Maggie, a Little Compton resident, has written for The Boston Globe and The New York Times. Uncertain is in its third printing and landed on multiple lists of the best books of 2023.

This is YARI's second book talk in partnership with the Redwood Library this year, following Krista Sykes's presentation about Vincent Scully in March.
