Destined to be a classic for anyone trying to succeed against the odds, Ambiguity is the Answer reminds readers of what it has always taken to truly bring about change in a world dominated by powerful interests: the use of ambiguity.
Hailed as "hopeful medicine for those who seek to lead impactful lives and bend the arc toward justice," this digestible yet deeply researched book by strategist Kyle Crawford lays out the lessons individuals, teams, communities, and organizations need to not just attempt to make a significant impact, but to succeed in doing so.
Directly countering the logic of our prevailing approaches to change and success, Ambiguity is the Answer uses real world stories to illuminate the landmark revelation that, across fields and throughout history, it is the production and embodiment of ambiguity-rather than categorization or certainty-that gives people an upper hand when it looks like they have none.
Drawing on the stories and strategies of a brilliant range of figures-Thurgood Marshall, Frida Kahlo, Harriet Tubman, Marlon Riggs, Cesar Chavez, Muhammad Ali, Billie Holiday, and many more-we see ambiguity emerge in innovative ways as the critical factor for success among activists, artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, and leaders across a host of fields.
As power continues to concentrate against more people, the world is in need of those who can explore, embody, and use ambiguity to create change. Thoughtfully structured and beautifully written, Ambiguity is the Answer will help you feel a little more freedom, and make you a little more able, to bring ambiguity into the important work you're doing.
