I think the overall principle of this book is on track! We should all stop thinking we know everything because we don’t. Being more open minded will also make a lot of people less angry

This is the kind of book you should read with a notebook. Very good, tons of great quote and real life, relevant examples. So much of it boils down to asking the questions: What do you believe is true, and how do you know it's true. His examples with NASA really drove the concept home. So often we assume things rather than confirming them. Highly recommend to open up your thinking and see things from other's perspective.

I read Think Again as a book study with a group of educators. It could have conveyed the same core ideas in fewer pages - in some parts it feels a bit like a series of nice blog posts or tangentially related essays stacked together rather than a book. However, I am glad I read it. I like Grant’s sense of humor & optimism. I also got quite a few ideas to hang onto for my personal life along with some examples that I think will be valuable to use in class.

As someone who often flips from hobby to hobby and interest to interest, I enjoyed the subject of this book a lot, and it inspired me to think of myself as doing things, rather than associating titles to myself like 'artist' and 'musician'. These things tend to hold me back by convincing me to hold myself to a standard of expertise or success, rather than being content with what I have. I won't abandon those labels, but use other descriptors day-to-day.

Repetitive. Felt outdated for a book written in 2021. "Rich white privilege" vibes

First and last chapter 5/5...the middle was an unnecessary slog. I much preferred his book Orignals. However, this one had some good moments and great takeaways!
