Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know

#1 New York Times Bestseller

"THIS. This is the right book for right now. Yes, learning requires focus. But, unlearning and relearning requires much more—it requires choosing courage over comfort. In Think Again, Adam Grant weaves together research and storytelling to help us build the intellectual and emotional muscle we need to stay curious enough about the world to actually change it. I’ve never felt so hopeful about what I don’t know." —Brené Brown, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare to Lead

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals, Give and Take, and the forthcoming Hidden Potential examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life.

Intelligence is typically seen as the ability to think and learn. However, in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, many of us lean towards the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We tend to listen to opinions that make us feel good rather than ideas that challenge us to think deeply. Disagreement is perceived as a threat to our egos, not an opportunity to learn. We often surround ourselves with like-minded individuals who support our conclusions, neglecting those who question our thought process. As a result, our beliefs become rigid long before our bones. We tend to think like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians seeking approval—rather than adopting the mindset of scientists in search of truth. Intelligence is no panacea; in fact, it can be a curse. Being adept at thinking may blind us to our own limitations.

In Think Again, Adam Grant explores the necessity of questioning our opinions and being open to relearning. He combines research and storytelling to assist readers in developing the intellectual and emotional resilience required to maintain curiosity about the world and effect meaningful change. This book offers a refreshing perspective, encouraging us to embrace the discomfort of doubt for personal and professional growth.
