Think Again

Rethinking is a skill that gets far less practice than thinking, and Adam Grant's book is about closing that gap. Think Again examines why people defend opinions they no longer have good reason to hold, and what changes once beliefs are treated as hypotheses rather than possessions. Grant, an organisational psychologist, draws on research alongside case studies covering firefighters, vaccine conversations, business rivalries and his own students, then builds towards practical guidance on running better disagreements and building teams able to revise their positions. Penguin Publications publishes this edition. Things to weigh up: • An account of why revising a belief feels like losing one • Research paired with case studies from work and public life • Techniques for holding disagreements that actually change minds • Guidance on building teams willing to revise their positions Suited to managers, teachers, students and readers of behavioural science, this Penguin Publications edition of Adam Grant's book is stocked at Boipoka.
