书籍简介:
"Think Again is a must-read for anyone who wants to create a culture of learning and exploration, whether at home, at work, or at school… In an increasingly divided world, the lessons in this book are more important than ever." –Bill and Melinda Gates The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals 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 Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval–and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds–and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

书友短评:
@ bettyqu – Be open minded and accept the possibility of needing to think again- Ideal level of confidence lies between armchair quarterback and impostor- Accept the fact that you may be wrong- Task conflict leads to creativity and productivity. Point out blind spots and overcome weakness- Make argument like conversation and encourage rethinking @ lucero 这个就很有意思了,这是今年看过的第二本叫Think Again的书,第一本讲的是how to argue,这本讲的是如何确保自己所持有的观点没有问题。几十年前有个哲学家说过我们社会一个很大的问题就是傻逼们坚信自己但知识分子满腹疑虑,挪到现在依然适用。当你忽略客观事实来通过各种手段维护自己的观点的时候,就把自己从科学家的角度变成了传教者和政治人物的角色。无独有偶之前那本讲argue的书也有一个观点,辩论的时候如果你的观点被改变其实是一种收获,因为在这场交涉中你学习到了新的东西,而对方可能没有。 @ apprentice 学英语的时候笔记本里抄录过他很多Twitter,他的推写的非常好。后来看书,经常在各个主题的书里见到作者提及他的观点,算是年轻一辈学术圈畅销书作家中的佼佼者,最近出了新书hidden potential,先找这本看下,感觉是沿用拓展的写法,非常吸引人。学生考试做题,检查答案时经常把正确的答案涂改为错误,原因几何;温水煮青蛙这样明显编撰出来的实验结论为什么会被长期传播,如何rethink,unlearn,近两年我试着练习:在网上收到抬杠、恶意的评论时——不急着在脑子里反驳,而是优先揣摩下对方是如何想的,为什么要表现的如此像抬杠,是傲慢还是愤怒,是讨厌我这个人还是讨厌我的看法。读此书发生Adam Grant间接也尝试过类似的思考。写作五星,比Call Newport还用擅长用学术研究解决小问题。 @ Sunny 快速翻看了一下 还挺有意思 @ Richard 读的时候觉得说得挺好,读完就全忘了,得做做笔记 @ 夏日走过溪间 六月听完的书,最大的感受是想送一本给我固执的business counterparty读。。 第三部分collective rethinking最精华,不要因为不知道的知识感到自卑,保持低敏感开放的心态积极学习,以后可以重读一下这部分。
