Named a best nonfiction book of 2021 by The Washington Post
"Renowned Wharton professor Grant spotlights one of the most
important and impactful themes of our time: questioning one's own
deeply held beliefs. Grant frames true knowledge as not knowing
everything, but rather, listening as if we knew nothing at all in
this intrepid book that is what our present moment requires."
—Newsweek, "Our 21 Favorite Books of 2021"
“In a world of aggressive certitude, Adam Grant’s latest book is a
refreshing mandate for humble open-mindedness. Think Again offers a
particularly powerful case for rethinking what we already know . .
. that is not just a useful lesson; it could be a vital one.”
—Financial Times
“In his latest book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You
Don’t Know, [Grant] is in vintage form.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“Think Again delivers smart advice on unlearning assumptions and
opening ourselves up to curiosity and humility.”
—The Washington Post
“Adam Grant’s latest book pushes us to reconsider, rethink,
reevaluate and reimagine our beliefs, thoughts, and identities and
get to the core of why we believe what we do, why it is so
important to us, and why we are steadfast to hold on to those ideas
and beliefs. . . . It teaches us to stop digging our heels and
doubling down and consider other people’s points of view so that we
may grow our own. Once again, Adam Grant succeeded in turning
our very way of thinking upside down as he pushes us to examine the
obvious.”
—Forbes
"This book blends psychology and self-help to prove how doubt,
failing, and rethinking are instrumental to improving ourselves and
our world. . . . In three sections, he outlines why we struggle to
embrace feedback, how we can help others rethink effectively, and
how our communities can shift to encourage rethinking."
—Business Insider
“Grant is a born communicator—engaging and impossibly articulate. .
. . Think Again . . . digs into the synaptic weirdness of why we
think how we do and how we know what (we think) we know. The bottom
line: In a world that’s constantly changing, we could all benefit
from deliberately reassessing our cherished opinions.”
—Goodreads user
“Adam Grant believes that keeping an open mind is a teachable
skill. And no one could teach this hugely valuable skill better
than he does in this wonderful read. The striking insights of this
brilliant book are guaranteed to make you rethink your opinions and
your most important decisions.”
—Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize winner in economics and #1 New York
Times bestselling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow
“THIS. This is the right book for right now. Yes, learning requires
focus. But, unlearning and relearning requires much more - it
requires choosing courage over comfort. In Think Again, Adam
Grant weaves together research and storytelling to help us
build the intellectual and emotional muscle we need to stay curious
enough about the world to actually change it. I’ve never felt
so hopeful about what I don’t know.”
—Brené Brown, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare
to Lead
“Adam Grant makes a captivating argument that if we have the
humility and curiosity to reconsider our beliefs, we can always
reinvent ourselves. Think Again helped me learn about how great
thinkers and achievers don’t let expertise or experience stand in
the way of being perpetual students.”
—M. Night Shyamalan, director of The Sixth Sense and Split
“Readers will find common ground in many of his compelling
arguments (ideologies, sports rivals), making this a
thought-provoking read.”
—Booklist
“[A] fast-paced account by a leading authority on the psychology of
thinking.”
—Library Journal, (starred review)
“For anyone who wants to create a culture of learning and
exploration at home, work or school, Grant distills complex
research into a compelling case for why each of us should
continually question old assumptions and embrace new ideas and
perspectives.”
—Entrepreneur
“It’s the idea of flexibility and how to achieve it that I found
most compelling in Think Again. As I read the book, I couldn’t help
but reflect on the times I’d clung to an opinion past its
expiration date or imagine what I might have learned from a debate,
had I asked a question instead of hurling a rebuttal.”
—Behavioral Scientist
