From Adam Grant's book, Think Again, explore the critical importance of rethinking one's own views and effectively opening the minds of others by embracing intellectual humility and doubt. The author presents concepts such as the first-instinct fallacy in test-taking and the dangers of cognitive laziness in clinging to old beliefs.
