Think Again
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. Think Again examines the critical art of rethinking—learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, it investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners.
