The Thimbles Summary
Think Again
The book in one sentence
In a fast-changing world, the ability to question your own views and change your mind is worth more than being clever or certain.
Who it's for
Leaders, founders, teachers and anyone who has to persuade others, and anyone who suspects they hold some opinions mainly because they’ve always held them.
The big idea
Grant, an organisational psychologist at Wharton, argues that we’re quick to update our phones and slow to update our beliefs. We cling to views because they feel like part of who we are. He asks readers to think more like scientists: treat opinions as hypotheses, look for evidence that might prove them wrong, and enjoy the moment of discovering a mistake.
The full summary continues with the five ideas worth keeping, three things to try this week, the 5-minute deep dive and our full verdict, as a PDF to keep.
