Think Again by Adam Grant is a compelling exploration into the power of rethinking our beliefs and embracing the unknown.

Through a blend of research and storytelling, Grant illustrates how we can develop the intellectual and emotional muscle needed to stay curious enough to effect change in the world. He delves into the art of rethinking: learning to question our opinions and open other people's minds. This, he posits, can position us for excellence at work and wisdom in life.

The book showcases how an international debate champion wins arguments and a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate. It offers insights on how a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and even how Yankees fans might be coaxed to root for the Red Sox. Grant reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. Think Again is an invitation to let go of outdated views and value mental flexibility over foolish consistency.

With bold ideas backed by rigorous evidence, Think Again not only teaches us the importance of rethinking but also provides practical guidance on how to cultivate this critical skill.
