Think Again: The Power Of Knowing What You Don'T Know

I am still reading it but it makes you think differently

A must read book to learn how to think clearly

In this turbulent world, one just have to be open to learning and unlearning, this book is excellent

The book is AMAZING yet Amazon delivered to me what indeed looked & felt as a used book!

Nice book , I learn more

Terrible quality of paper, print, ink, etc… even the paper cut and binding is not even. Not sure of this was printed in the USA as is written on it or this is a knockoff. I will return it.

This book really amazing, change a lot in my mindset

The book looked like it was used before extremely dirty, put me off

Love how this books makes us aware of our own self-serving bias. If you are planning to find out how to lead better, interact better or just learn better, then this is the book for you

I liked it a lot, I liked the style of author's writing and he also provided many examples and stories that actually help readers to understand and remember the content of the book for quite some time. It changed the way that you think about conflicts and helps you to have better constructive conversation with friends that have different opinions, You will be more welcoming to change your own mind and be aware of the biases that you might have.

If we ask any person in the world to look back into the past & question if they have any regrets of having not done,or doing a thing wrongly,or missed opportunities of better growth in their life and so on, then it's no surprise, if we hear almost 100% of the people having regretting the way they did or felt that,if only they have put some more thought and done differently.They wished that they should have paused for a moment or for some time,to think differently or have done in a better way."Think Again" by Adam Grant is a book about taking time to "Rethink"..He says that or rather puts his point of view in front of us in a scientific manner telling us why "Rethinking " is necessary.The writer very vividly categorized our reactions or thinking in four differnt ways i.e preaching, prosecuting, politicking and viewing scientifically.With his rich experience as an organizational psychalogist at Wharton,extensive research,quoting examples of the notable people who failed miserably by not rethinking at the right time and the ones who succeeded extensively by constantly rethinking,has put forth his sincere views in the book with an intent to bring the readers closer to 'reasoning and more reasoning,' and not to miss the chances of "Rethinking" on a day to day basis.To be honest, for the first time,I felt that as to why I should write a review at all(as usually I do after reading a book)? Perhaps it may be because I wanted to satisfy my ego, or I wish to say something about the book like a few of the other readers do after reading a book, to feel good.Well I am not sure,but here, I am writing this review feeling happy,though to write a review on a book of this kind is far different than writing on a fictional one. I like to say that here is a book that should be read by every reader who holds interest in reading, not to promote Adam Grant but for the feel good factor for themselves and about their surroundings.Reading this book,we realize that we spend days,months,years and perhaps even decades in orthodox thinking,blind beliefs and unproductive living based on which our actions,discriminations,accusations, overthinking, jugements etc depend, without a thought or concern for the actual facts or truth,bringing misery to ourselves as well as to the people around us.We also understand that no product, experience, event etc can be considered as an ideal or ultimate and that there is always a room for improvement and the best way is always to act and think scientifically.The mention of famous personalities and how they were able to remain at the top for long, while others couldn't do so, was well illustrated with the examples like that of ' Mike Lazaridis and Black Berry(mobile phone)',the forcasting & predictions of 'Jeane Pierre vs Kjirste Morrell,the humbling British physicist Andrew Lyne(admiiting his wrong in front of a large audience),the success story of Wright brothers, Brad Bird and his failures before he won Oscar awards,the debates between Harish Natarajan vs Debra, Daryl Davis the black piano player vs a white supermacist,the innovative educator Ron Berger (*Even I wished that I should have been a student of him) and many more such real life stories of rise and fall makes the book intresting and the reading authentic.After reading the book I could find a few of the complexities with in me too which I was holding for long and realize that I too am happy for being wrong as it means that, I have come a little closer to being right.This is a book with most page markers that I have ever read.

Really really good book for fostering deep thinking on things at usually don't reason about "again". Plenty of real life examples. Don't know how many books are on the topic, but this one is good
