Intelligence is often considered the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there is another set of cognitive skills that may be even more important: the ability to rethink and relearn. In everyday life, too many...
of us prefer the comfort of beliefs to the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, rather than ideas that challenge us to think. We view disagreements as a threat to our ego, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating towards those who challenge our thought process.
If knowledge is power, then knowing what we don’t know is wisdom. This is what Professor Adam Grant believes. His new book will help:
Master the skill that Ray Dalio calls key in his "Principles" — the ability to look at reality without bias.
Awaken your inner Scientist: endlessly curious, skeptically minded, moderately self-confident. Learn to change your perspective.
Form substantive, rather than interpersonal conflicts to guide your team or group towards finding solutions.
Encourage others to revisit established views and think within the framework of a scientific approach.
Create a community of people who learn new things throughout their lives.
Adam Grant tells all this engagingly, with humor and examples from various fields, accompanied by brilliantly chosen illustrations and graphs that contribute to the ease of reading.
Adam Grant’s book shows that we don’t have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It is an invitation to discard views that no longer serve us and to value mental flexibility over blind consistency.
For whom the book is intended:
For anyone who wants to learn to critically assess reality and their decisions, rethink, and relearn as they move forward.
