The Wisdom of Not Knowing: Discovering a Life of Wonder by Embracing Uncertainty
by Estelle Frankel
Shambhala Publications, Boulder, Colorado, 2017. 235 pages
"This book is an exploration of the role of the unknown in our lives and a guide to reclaiming . . . 'the wisdom of not knowing,' that deeper wisdom that emerges out of the silent, white spaces between the lines of our stories. It is a meditation on how expanding our awareness of life’s great mysteries enables us to connect with unknown parts of ourselves. As a lifelong student of Jewish mysticism, a practicing psychotherapist, and a spiritual director, I have learned that being receptive to the unknown, in all its many facets, allows us to become more open, curious, flexible and expansive in our personal and professional lives. This openness is the eye to all learning and creativity. It is the fate that unlocks our wisdom and courage." (
