Ron S. Dembo Navigates Uncertainty in “Risk Thinking”

The future of risk management in the increasingly unpredictable world is at the forefront of author Ron S. Dembo’s revolutionary book, “Risk Thinking: …In an Uncertain World.” Displayed at The Reading Glass Books exhibit, Booth #959, Black Zone at the LA Times Festival of Books last April 26-27, 2025, this essential work challenges conventional risk assessment models and presents a compelling new approach to navigating today’s complex and volatile landscape.

In “Risk Thinking,” Dembo tackles the issues posed by global threats—from climate change and cyber-attacks to financial crises and pandemics—that often emerge without warning. As extreme outliers continue to shape our reality, the book encourages a shift toward a more nuanced and adaptable method of assessing risk, one that embraces uncertainty rather than shying away from it.

Dembo’s work has received acclaim from industry leaders and thought influencers across various sectors. David Dodge, the former Governor of the Bank of Canada, observes that Dembo’s approach could have prevented the Great Financial Crisis. Financial Times’ Gillian Tett describes the book as a “provocative and clear manual” for today’s risk assessors, while astronaut Col. Chris Hadfield calls it “insightfully written, fun to read” and crucial for anyone looking to better understand risk in the face of an uncertain future.

As the world becomes more interconnected and complex, Dembo’s framework offers a vital resource for strategic thinkers, policymakers, and emerging leaders seeking to navigate the challenges ahead. Readers engaged with “Risk Thinking” at this year’s LA Times Festival of Books, where it promised to redefine how we think about—and respond to—the risks of tomorrow.

This is essential reading for anyone looking to gain an advantage in a world where the unexpected is now the norm.
