Think Again

Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller and Times Self-Help Book of the Year, this work explores the vital skill of rethinking—how questioning our opinions can lead to excellence at work and wisdom in life. In a rapidly changing world, the ability to rethink and unlearn is more crucial than traditional intelligence. Recent global shifts have prompted many to reassess their beliefs, yet we often cling to the comfort of certainty instead of embracing the discomfort of doubt. This tendency can blind us to our limitations, as intelligence alone is not a safeguard against ignorance. The author, a top-rated professor and bestselling author, presents compelling ideas and evidence on embracing the joy of being wrong and fostering a culture of rethinking in various domains, including contentious issues like abortion and climate change. Through engaging examples, such as an international debate champion, a musician changing hearts, and a vaccine advocate, the text illustrates the power of mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity. Ultimately, it encourages readers to abandon outdated opinions and recognize that true wisdom lies in understanding what we do not know.
