We live in a world filled with uncertainty. Often this uncertainty leads to anxiety about the future. Fortunately, information can reduce uncertainty, and in turn, reduce anxiety. The catch is that the new information may also uncover new uncertainty, leading to increased anxiety. In this episode, we explore the seemingly paradoxical relationship among uncertainty, anxiety, and information and consider examples from daily life whether it’s checking the weather or a kitty peeking around the corner. We won’t let this conundrum contribute to your anxiety, though. Tune in to learn about helpful strategies to handle the uncertainty/anxiety/information paradox. Naturally, Stoicism is part of the solution.
