Summary
Adam Grant explores the skill of rethinking: questioning old assumptions, listening to different views and changing a belief when the evidence calls for it. Drawing on psychology and stories from work and daily life, he asks how people can stay curious and how schools and workplaces can build a culture of learning.
Why read it Our view
