Reviews

In an era in which misinformation and “alternative facts” abound, it is difficult to know what to believe anymore. The resulting uncertainty has seeped into all corners of human consciousness, including the self. The second edition of the Handbook of the Uncertain Self brings together a distinguished group of scientists who grapple with the key issues within this domain. Their insights crystalize what is known and lay out the agenda for future work on this topic, making this volume essential reading for anyone interested in this topic. William Swann, Professor of Psychology, University of Texas-Austin Uncertainty is the ubiquitous feature of the fast-changing world we live in. It is about the only thing one can be certain about. This important volume illuminates the varied ways in which uncertainty affects people’s lives for good or ill, and offers useful insights about coping with uncertainty's inevitable reality. Arie Kruglanski, Distinguished University Professor of Psychology, University of Maryland-College Park The book takes on a major challenge of our time—uncertainty about who we are and who we want to be in a rapidly changing world. A stellar lineup of authors take on this challenge through a wide range of lenses, including cognitive, intergroup, and relationship processes. For those who want to understand self-doubt and self-uncertainty, this book is a must read. Jennifer Crocker, Emeritus Professor and Ohio Eminent Scholar in Psychology, The Ohio State University
