Central Concern: Think Again examines the art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people’s minds, which, according to the text, can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life. Adam Grant explores how an ability to reconsider assumptions and embrace being wrong can lead to personal and professional growth. Through a blend of psychology, behavioral science, and real-life examples, Grant encourages readers to foster a culture of learning and flexibility, challenging traditional notions of intelligence and success.
