Description
The critical skill of rethinking, as advocated by Adam Grant, Wharton’s top-rated professor and bestselling author, emphasizes the importance of questioning our own opinions and being open to change. In a rapidly evolving world, the ability to unlearn and adapt may be even more vital than traditional intelligence. Grant argues that while intelligence allows us to think and learn, it can also lead us to become blinded by our own convictions. He suggests that we often prefer the comfort of certainty over the discomfort of doubt, and tend to gravitate towards opinions that validate our existing beliefs rather than challenging them. Through compelling examples, Grant illustrates how individuals from various backgrounds have successfully persuaded others to reconsider their views on contentious issues. « Think Again » encourages us to embrace the possibility of being wrong, promote a culture of continuous learning, and value mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity over stubborn consistency. In this framework, recognizing what we don’t know becomes a source of wisdom, alongside knowledge itself.
