Description

Think Again - The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know - A Comprehensive Summary We often see intelligence as an ability to think and learn, but we forget the most important part of intelligence: the ability to rethink and unlearn. We must learn how to examine information we’ve been given and accepted as fact, and to re-think our former convictions in order to have the most accurate information and convictions we can. We have to unlearn false information and use our ability to do so to have a more solid foundation. When we surround ourselves with people who agree with us and think the same as us, we do ourselves a disservice and prevent ourselves from growing and learning. We become too much like preachers who have to defend their beliefs, prosecutors who have to prove we are correct, or politicians who campaign for what they want. What we need to do is learn to think like scientists. Thinking like a scientist involves us doing individual rethinking, interpersonal rethinking, and collective rethinking. When we can learn to challenge our own beliefs, challenge our identity, and bring that kind of environment into our workplaces, we can create a situation where learning is paramount, and excellence is achieved. Think Again will show you how to engage in re-thinking, not just the importance of it. It will give evidence that re-thinking works, and anecdotes of people and organizations who have used re-thinking to change their lives and businesses.

    This is a must read...ESPECIALLY after the year we've had. A great way to think and rethink the assurances we've learned on. Also...BONUS...ways to actively engage in the rethinking process in all aspects of life! Great to listen with audio, but I might need a hard copy to re read and take notes 2 people found this helpful

    Unlike many authors in this category who repackage universal truths, Grant reveals fresh and surprising concepts that...well... really get you thinking again. Beautifully-written, funny, and eye-opening, this is one of my favorite books in the last couple years. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn, grow, and reinvent, both personally and professionally.

    How I know Adam Grant reading his work. Thought provoking ideas of how we box ourselves in with our thinking habits. Excellent research to appreciate the thinking and work that went into this offering. at the end of my first reading I thought this was really for the cognitively brave, but then discovered: it is you and me in many situations called everyday life. Be ready for a gentle journey to a new place in thinking.

    This is a book I expect to read and re-read. It has given me some tools to use in conversation with one of my sons, probably avoiding confrontation. I'm guilty of some of the negative talking patterns he covers and trying to take some lessons to heart.
