About the book

These days, we're bombarded with information. In our just-in-time society, we have more information than ever before, but we're taking less and less time to process it. Taking time to think and reflect has become a rare commodity.

In (Un)certain, author and columnist Julien De Wit describes in each chapter what he notices in today's society if we dare to pay attention. As a growing twenty-something, he wants to slow down, reflect, and consider the uncertainty and fear that plague society today. Together with the reader, he searches for tools to combat this uncertainty, to resist defeatism.

In (Un)certain, Julien writes essays about, among other things, the ever-changing world, fear, climate, identity, the definition of success, growing up in 2024, the search for self-discovery in young twenty-somethings, the role of social media, our constantly distracted minds, the value of literature, the meaning of work, and coping with change as a young adult.
