Imagine for a moment how you would feel if you were able to change the way you think and learn, so that you can be able to move on, adapt, take risks and win again.

The author points that even if intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, in a rapidly changing world, there is another set of cognitive skills that could make the difference: the ability to rethink and unlearn.

Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favour we “only” listen to opinions that make us feel good, We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

The book reveals a very provocative affirmation that being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder, foreclose we can become to our own limited visions. Instead, learning to question your opinions and open other people’s minds, which can position you for discovering new paths towards the excellence at work and wisdom in life.

How we can embrace the joy of being wrong?. What brings being wrong to be right. Think Again reveals that we do not have to believe everything we think or internalise everything we feel. It is an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and nourish mental flexibility, humility and curiosity over foolish self-enclosedness.

If knowledge is power, knowing what we do not know is wisdom.
