Think Again

*Think Again* is an exploration of the transformative power of doubt, delving into how we can cultivate a greater comfort with uncertainty and embrace the liberating potential of being wrong. Research has shown that creative visionaries do not cling rigidly to a singular identity but are perpetually willing to reassess their positions. Similarly, leaders who openly acknowledge their limitations and actively seek constructive critique foster more dynamic, innovative, and high-performing teams. Recent findings suggest that *rethinking* is not just an inherent trait but a malleable mindset and skill set that can be cultivated. Adam Grant provides a comprehensive framework for developing the essential attributes needed for this practice. The first section examines the psychological barriers to rethinking, highlighting how our natural tendencies toward certainty can hinder growth and how we can overcome them as individuals—arguing, notably, that perseverance (or *grit*) may, in certain contexts, be counterproductive. The second section addresses how we can facilitate rethinking in others by honing skills in *argument literacy*, the ability to engage critically and constructively with differing perspectives. The final section critiques the ways in which institutions—such as schools, businesses, and governments—fall short in fostering cultures that champion the ongoing process of rethinking. Ultimately, *rethinking* may prove to be the pivotal skill that provides a competitive advantage in a world of relentless and rapid change.
