Think Again Book Review by Jeff Bush

By Adam Grant 

  • Learn to rethink. Let go of old knowledge and opinions, and be willing to learn.  
  • You live in a changing world, therefore, you must discern what to think and what to rethink. 
  • The smarter you are, the harder it is to question yourself and rethink.
  • In the preacher mode, questioning your thinking is translated as a lack of weakness, but in the scientific mode, questioning your thinking is translated as a way to discover truth.
  • The purpose is not to stop your thinking but to accelerate your rethinking. 
  • Too many times, we have just enough information to be confident, but we are not right.
  • The antidote for not being stuck on Mount Stupid is humility.
  • Arrogance is the confidence of ignorance.
  • Arrogance blinds us from our weaknesses. 
  • Being wrong doesn’t need to depress you — see it as you discovered something. 
  • If you’re insecure, you make fun of others. 
  • If you don’t change your mind frequently, you’re going to be wrong a lot. 
  • It doesn’t matter whose fault it is, it’s your responsibility to fix it.
