30 Actionable Takeaways From “Think Again” By Adam Grant (Thread)

I just finished Think Again with @AdamMGrant

The best book ever for getting a flexible mind & letting go of old beliefs and ideas that do not serve you anymore

In the end, Adam gives 30 practical takeways on how YOU can rethink & become stronger

Here they are in order 🧵👇

1/ Think like a scientist

Often, you tend to preach, prosecute or politic. Be curious instead & test your hypotheses with data

2/ Define yourself in values, not opinions

You are so much better than your opinions. Keep a list of factors that can change your mind

3/ Seek out information that confront your views

This socratic method allows you to gain deep knowledge and a unique perspective

4/ Beware the Dunning-Kreuger effect

The more confidence you have, the more likely you are overestimating yourself (and the reverse)

5/ Harness the benefits of doubt

It is an opportunity to growth. This confusion is an extremely good thing

6/ Embrace the joy of being wrong
