Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know - Book Study
Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know by Adam Grant is a book about the importance of rethinking and unlearning outdated beliefs. To thrive in an ever-changing world, we need to rethink our views regularly, seek out disagreement, and be comfortable with uncertainty. By adopting a scientist's mindset, and by encouraging our students to do the same, we can make better decisions, improve relationships, and play our part in fostering a more open-minded society. By integrating Think Again's principles into teaching, educators can create classrooms that encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and intellectual humility. This not only helps students succeed academically but also prepares them to be thoughtful, open-minded individuals in a rapidly changing world.
