Accepting Uncertainty

 

From the author, Lex Sackett: 

This book took me decades to write. I "finished" it in 2019, but revised it repeatedly through 2023. It tells my story of searching not just for "truth", but "the truth". In the end, I found myself by finally accepting uncertainty.

From the back cover:

Accepting uncertainty does not come easily to everyone...

Knowing and believing provide certainty. Certainty is comforting. Certainty takes fear away. Certainty allows human beings to move forward with confidence. For many, religion offers the assurance of certainty.

This book tells the story of one human being's failed quest to find religious certainty. This journey started with a poverty stricken, atheist boy who grows into a capitalist, Christian father, and finally becomes a student of many religions. Through global travel, diverse human interaction, and reading millions of words from the glorious wealth of humanity's literature, he sought the answers to his deepest questions.

A desperate need to find the comfort of religious certainty drove him. What is a driven human being to do when they fail to find religious certainty?

This book is available on Amazon.com: Accepting Uncertainty


 

Fool's Errand

It feels like a fool's errand to start a business today. It is even worse than it was when this book was written (originally published as An Idiot's Tale in 2011). Should any of us attempt the fool's errand of making our own way in this world? The author believes we should. The book is updated with the Fool replacing the Idiot. It is available on Amazon.com: Fool's Errand
