This is an automatically translated description

The bestselling author of The Originals and Give and Take explores the art of rethinking: the ability to question your own thoughts and open up the thoughts of others to achieve excellence in work and wisdom in life.

Intelligence is commonly thought of as the ability to think and learn, but in our fast-paced world, there is another set of cognitive skills that are far more important - the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us prefer the comfort of conviction to the inconvenience of doubt. We see contradictions as threats to our egos rather than opportunities to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions when we should be reaching out to those who challenge our thinking.

This book encourages you to think again, and not to believe everything we are so convinced of. The author invites us to abandon views that no longer serve us well, and elevates mental flexibility over foolish conviction. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.
