# Think Again

> Book on the power of rethinking, unlearning, and questioning assumptions.

Think Again by organizational psychologist Adam Grant explores the cognitive skills of rethinking and unlearning. It investigates why people cling to outdated convictions, how intelligence can sometimes blind us to our own flaws, and how to embrace intellectual humility. The book offers evidence-based strategies to open other people's minds and foster a culture of lifelong learning.
