amyegbert 's review for:
Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know
by Adam M. Grant
This is the kind of book I'm very happy to own because it merits a lot of revisiting. So many great concepts and excellent illustrations of ideas that are probably way over my head. I really liked reading it - though it took me a LONG time to read (like ... months.)
I love the premise that the more we questions what we think we understand, the better decisions we make. I've listened to Adam Grant make a lot of arguments for and against things, and he has a knack for distilling arguments down to something that I didn't see as a central theme before he pointed it out. I love that.
The "preaching, politicking, and prosecuting" idea seemed to be a really important theme, and maybe I didn't think deeply enough about it, but it felt a bit forced to me. But the idea of "thinking like a scientist" (i.e. have a hypothesis, test it, be wiling to be be proven wrong) is one that I love. I'm not willing to abandon my preaching, politicking, and prosecuting yet though. So probably that means I'm undeveloped in my thinking skills.
