Think Again | Adam Grant
Why it is here: The manual for cognitive agility.
In a rapidly changing world, the most dangerous trait is certainty. Grant categorizes our thinking into modes:
Preacher (defending beliefs),
Prosecutor (attacking others),
Politician (winning favor), and
Scientist (seeking truth).
We include this to train the "Scientist Mode."
It teaches the specific skill of "Rethinking"—actively seeking disconfirming evidence and updating your mental maps.
It transforms "being wrong" from a failure of intelligence into a sign of learning, which is essential for adaptive flow.
