Themes:scientist vs preacher mindsetconfident humility

Should I read this?

Think Again reads like an extended TED talk: brisk, anecdote-driven, and relentlessly actionable. Grant argues that mental flexibility is a trainable skill, using stories from entrepreneurs, athletes, and musicians to show how rethinking pays off and how overconfidence backfires. The most useful parts are the concrete scripts for inviting disagreement and updating your views. The limitation: the book can feel like a compilation of greatest hits from organizational psychology, with some sections dragging as examples pile on without deepening.

Read this if...

  • A product manager at a SaaS company who just received a detailed complaint from a power user labeling the product's core workflow 'broken by design' and is fighting the urge to dismiss it as one-off, realizing their defensiveness might be blinding them to a real issue.
  • A new hire at a design agency who, after a client presentation went badly because they defended a concept with 'my school taught it this way,' needs to learn how to separate their ego from their ideas and iterate based on feedback.
  • A parent who got into a heated argument with their teenager about screen time and left the conversation feeling more entrenched, worried they're modeling the very stubbornness they're trying to correct.

Skip this if...

  • You'll bounce hard if you pick this up expecting a deep dive into cognitive psychology—the book substitutes academic rigor with pop-social-science patter, and the first time it explains a concept via a brief business anecdote rather than research you'll feel shortchanged.
  • The frequent name-dropping of Silicon Valley startups, elite universities, and celebrity entrepreneurs may grate; you'll start rolling your eyes when yet another founder story is used to illustrate a point, especially if your daily work doesn't involve pitch decks or innovation labs.
  • If you're already a fan of the 'rethinking' concept, you'll likely put the book down midway when you notice each chapter essentially reframes the same insight (don't get attached to your beliefs) with a new industry example, offering more breadth than depth.

We need to spend as much time rethinking as we do thinking.Why do we refresh our wardrobes every year, renovate our kitchens every decade, but never update our beliefs and our views Why do we laugh at people using computers that are ten years old, but yet still cling to opinions we formed ten years agoFor too many of us, our ways of thinking beco...

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
Try This Instead

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Recommended by 8 sources.

Soft-spoken, heavily illustrated fable built from short dialogues and watercolor sketches. Each spread pairs a spare line of text with a loose drawing, so the pleasure is visual and aphoristic rather than narrative; readers collect felt-true sentences more than plot. Most useful when you want quick consolations, a prompt for conversation with a child, or a pause during a rough day. Limiting if you want sustained argument, concrete advice, or tightly plotted storytelling: the repetition of gentleness can feel sentimental or thin after a while.
