Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know
We live in a culture that shudders at the thought of being wrong—whether in the spheres of politics, sports, or daily life, most of us fail to see the areas in which we miss pertinent knowledge. Despite our tendency to idolize correctness, if we want to know anything at all, we must recognize that we are often (if not always) incorrect. Professor of organizational psychology Adam Grant helps us along, exposing the pitfalls in our culture’s desire to “know it all.” Using wisdom from psychological studies and real-world examples, Grant implores us to shed our addiction to exactitude and revel in the knowledge that what we hold in our heads will never come close to completion.
