Summary

From the bestselling author of The Age of Unreason and The Age of Paradox comes an exhilarating collection of 35 timeless essays, including Handy's change-making articles from the Harvard Business Review and Director magazine. One of the foremost social philosophers of our times shares his reflections on a changing world, a world in which we can be certain only of uncertainty. To plan for the future in such an environment, says Charles Handy, we must learn to think differently. Beyond Certainty is a book to dip into, enjoy, and share with colleagues and friends. Also available in hardcover; ISBN 0875846718, $19.95.
