title = "Uncertainty as a Lever for Change and Innovation",
abstract = "What motivates change and innovation? The purpose of this chapter is to address this question. More specifically, in this chapter I describe different types of uncertainty, including those that are resolvable (e.g., everyday, critical, and impending uncertainties) and those that are not (e.g., metaphysical uncertainties). Next, I discuss how uncertainty serves as a lever for innovation and change. I then discuss possible personal changes and social innovations that can result from engaging with uncertainty, including potentially negative and unintended consequences. The chapter concludes with a brief summary and directions for future research.",
