Summary

Why do we fear uncertainty? In this episode, I will discuss how we are hardwired to fear the unknown and how that fear affects our quality of life in the present moment. The problem isn't that there is uncertainty in life, the problem is that we're not OK with the fact that there is uncertainty in life.

Hello, you are listening to the Secular Buddhism Podcast and this is episode number 31.

0:06.6

I am your host Noah Rosheta and today I am talking about dealing with the fear of uncertainty.

1:12.1

1:18.2

So the idea is that you can take these concepts, listen to it in this book or read the book

1:24.5

and be able to have a much easier understanding of Buddhist thought.

1:51.4

of the overall thought behind this worldview.
