I am a bit in a stretch on this one.First - I did complete it in one sitting. To the point without any major waste of words or repetitions and very, very engaging.What is in the hindsight less fascinating is it´s core message: or the web of it´s core messages. Will need to do a lot of thinking and rethinking on it (which is great), but in the end I feel now that there is inherent weakness in hailing the "scientific approach" (as defined by author) as the main way of approaching problems: as a mo...
I will save you 6 hours of your time:Whatever you think you know, don't be afraid to re-think it.The end.
The first rule of the Dunning-Kruger club is that you don't know you are a member of the Dunning-Kruger club. Think this ^ doesn't apply to you? > Think again :).Are you really so certain you are a "Democrat", a "Tory", a "Labor" voter or a "Republican"?Really? So, you have "the" answer? Or, could it be that parties themselves are in fact the problem you hope to resolve as they part 'us' against 'them'. Will your version of division truly help stop the division?If you are oh so certain you don't...
”It is a sign of wisdom to avoid believing every thought that enters your mind. It’s a mark of emotional intelligence to avoid internalizing every feeling that enters your heart.”I very rarely read self-help, but I’ve recently realized I do like books on the psychology of how we think and feel. In our current day and age information gets updated on an almost daily basis, a lot of information also gets simplified to a one sentence heading. All of this means that we need to be able to update our o...
I absolutely agree with rethinking/questioning yourself with anything and everything. There's always different perspectives, possibilities, etc., so don't get stuck on one view!
I’m still a huge Yankees fan but now have a little more appreciation for Red Sox fans (not much though) ⚾️ Think Again is a hefty collection of useful social psychology research well summarized and presented for the layperson interested in challenging how we think and why we think the way we do. Includes 249 research notes for further reading and a list of AG’s top thirty actionable takeaways as a resource. You will enjoy and likely expand a bit.

Adam Grant examines how we know what we know and asks us to rethink our beliefs, assumptions, and 0pinions. Rigid adherence to beliefs, and “knowing,” without questioning, usually results in poor outcomes. He asks us to regularly update our beliefs based on new evidence. Many people are more concerned about being right or defending beliefs or seeking approval, and these often take precedence over the truth. He asks us to take the mental role of a scientist, searching for what is true by hypothes...
“Think Again” by American psychologist, bestselling author and professor of organizational psychology at the Wharton Business School, Adam Grant, is known wisdom repackaged efficiently and repurposed expertly. The nub of Grant’s latest book is rethinking the art of thinking. Received wisdom, stale conventions and entrenched dogmas have, according to Grant not just permeated our thoughts but have also succeeded admirably well in influencing our very approach to both personal and professional live...
Well written, clear, engaging and hilarious - this book has been an enjoyable and extremely valuable read for me. I initially purchased the audiobook because Adam Grant reads it and it feels like a long podcast. What a FANTASTIC writer AND narrator he is! He masterfully opens some of your blind spots and motivates you to rethink our beliefs and assumptions we have from decades about different things. Seriously, be prepared for your life to be changed after reading this! I found the science in th...
3.5 Do you make up your mind and stick to it no matter what? Are you unable to handle constructive criticism? Are you so set on doing things one way even when another, often better way can be found? Do you refuse to discuss things with those who don't share your opinions?This and much more is discussed in this book. Using examples such as the demise of the blackberry and the success of the IPhone to the Wright brothers whose arguments eventually led to problem solving. How someone showing you th...
Adam Grant's Think Again is a solid book extolling the benefits of open-mindedness and reassessing your beliefs. He uses a nice blend of research-backed insights and anecdotal evidence to walk the reader through how to use uncertainty and the knowledge of not knowing to both convince others and reevaluate your own beliefs. Grant defines three archetypes to represent the most common mistakes people make when attempting to convince others: Preacher, Prosecutor, & Politician. When we become a preac...
This review is going to make me look foolish and decidedly not open minded but I just gotta be me.I just wrote a seriously long, boring review so...tldr; Lots of great thoughts and ideas which fell in line with my core beliefs but too much pop-psychology type of writing and the delivery made my shields raise, preventing me from learning whatever he was teaching.First this book really is a 4-5 star book, lots of intriguing insights into how people form opinions, how they communicate them with bot...
