Masters of Uncertainty: The Navy Seal Way to Turn Stress Into Success for You and Your Team

"Easy to understand and simple to implement, Masters of Uncertainty is essential for any person or team that wants to operate even better than they do now."

--Simon Sinek, optimist and New York Times bestselling author of Start With Why and The Infinite Game

Retired Navy SEAL commander and performance expert Rich Diviney reveals a revolutionary method for training individuals and teams to perform at their best, no matter what.

For Navy SEALs, success isn't only a result of relentless training in shooting, skydiving, or combat--though they are experts at those things. The real secret is that they use their innate human capabilities to turn the stress of uncertain and complex situations to their advantage.

In more than two decades of leading, training, and coaching top performers, Rich Diviney (founder of the SEALs' "Mind Gym") discovered that while most elite individuals and teams are masters of preparation, it's how they react when things don't go according to plan that separates the best from the rest. They are Masters of Uncertainty.

With Diviney's science-backed Mastering Uncertainty Method, you and your team will learn how to:

- Turn any uncertain or chaotic moment into an opportunity

- Use your body's natural performance engine to keep going when the going gets tough

- Stay cool and calm in the heat of any moment

- Become a person or team who gets better under pressure

- Gain new insight into your "raw self" (inherent identity and attributes) to figure out the best course of action in any scenario

- Avoid the traps that cause 95% of teams using traditional business and leadership models to consistently underperform

- Cultivate the four domains of trust that are common to all high-performing teams

Masters of Uncertainty is a battle-tested handbook for everyone--working together or alone--to survive and thrive in our increasingly unpredictable world.
