Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The acclaimed author and TED podcast star, Adam Grant, returns with Think Again, a powerful and dynamic guide to the art of rethinking. In a world that constantly changes, having the skill to change our own minds is crucial. Here, Grant delves into the transformative power of knowing what we don't know and being open to changing our minds as new information and perspectives emerge.

Think Again challenges readers to consider why we spend so much time updating our wardrobes or renovating our homes, but rarely pause to re-examine our beliefs. Why do we laugh at outdated technology while clinging to opinions we formed in the past? Grant argues that the ability to rethink and unlearn old beliefs is more valuable today than pure intelligence.

This insightful book is filled with captivating stories and cutting-edge research, weaving narratives from diverse sources—including Elon Musk, Hillary Clinton's campaign team, top CEOs, and leading scientists—to illustrate how letting go of old ideas can lead to new breakthroughs. Grant provides practical tips and strategies for developing the mental agility needed to adapt when the world around us changes.

Through compelling anecdotes and rigorous research, Think Again offers readers the tools to cultivate a habit of reconsideration. Grant emphasises the importance of keeping our thinking fresh, knowing when and how to question our beliefs, and fostering an environment where others feel safe to do the same. This book isn't just about changing individual minds but also about inspiring collective open-mindedness and adaptability.

Perfect for anyone looking to challenge their own viewpoints and inspire others to rethink theirs, Think Again is an essential read for modern times. Discover how to become more effective, focused, and open to the endless possibilities that come from thinking again.
