Author: Leah Hager Cohen

In "I Don't Know," author Leah Hager Cohen takes readers on a concise yet rich exploration of the human tendency to conceal ignorance. Drawing from varied domains—education, finance, medicine, politics, warfare, trial courts, and climate change—she blends accessible anecdotes with solid research to reveal the costs of this habit. Cohen argues that honesty about what we do not know can be liberating. By framing ignorance as an opportunity for growth, she offers alternatives that encourage transparency, critical questioning, and collaboration. The book suggests that embracing uncertainty, simply by acknowledging it, opens doors to clearer communication and stronger collective knowledge.
