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

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential, Originals, and Give and Take 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 usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. Many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt and see disagreement as a threat rather than an opportunity to learn. We tend to surround ourselves with people who agree with us instead of those who challenge our views, leading to brittle beliefs.

Organizational psychologist Adam Grant, a leading expert on opening minds, explores how embracing the joy of being wrong can bring nuance to conversations and promote lifelong learning. He shares stories of individuals persuading others and advocates for mental flexibility over foolish consistency. "Think Again" encourages us to let go of outdated views and recognize that knowing what we don't know is true wisdom.
