華頓商學院教授亞當.格蘭特又一力作!
原來我們都不自覺緊抓舊思維不放!
帶你打開心胸、大膽質疑,擁抱敢於破除成見的積極人生
「若想要在家、工作場合、學校等各個地方創造樂於不斷學習的文化,本書絕對為必讀之作。……尤其在這個變化劇烈的時代,本書所點出的觀念更是至關重要。」──比爾.蓋茲與梅琳達‧蓋茲
談到影響思考和學習的因素,我們第一個想到的是個人聰明才智,然而在如今這個時代,「反思」與「破除成見」的能力可能更為重要。
日常生活中,我們大多安於已知的事物──只聽符合自己想法的意見,視逆耳忠言為愚見,而沒看見從中學習的機會;只和順我們意的人打交道,卻忽視反對聲浪的可貴。然而事實上,我們相信的事物根本不是那麼地堅不可摧。大多數人盲目捍衛自以為絕對正確的信念,真正追求事實真相的人寥寥無幾──聰明才智不再是良藥,反而隱含劇毒,讓我們停止反思、畫地自限。
亞當.格蘭特指出,要改變這個有害的狀態,我們應該學會打開心胸──練習勇敢闡述自己的想法,同時虛心傾聽他人的批評指教。以大膽的觀點和嚴謹的論證,格蘭特帶我們學會如何坦然擁抱犯錯的快樂、從中學習,以及如何加深談話深度,並為學校、工作場域與生活社群打造出一個樂於不斷學習、自我挑戰的環境。
如果說知識就是力量,那「不知為不知」就是一種智慧。我們的所見所想,都未必是真理,擁有反思的能力與開放的心態,才得以掙脫成見的枷鎖,擁有更廣闊的視野,無論是對於職涯發展,或在追求人生其他目標的路上,都能受用無窮。(文/博客來編譯)
#1 New York Times Bestseller
"THIS. This is the right book for right now. Yes, learning requires focus. But, unlearning and relearning requires much more-it requires choosing courage over comfort. In Think Again, Adam Grant weaves together research and storytelling to help us build the intellectual and emotional muscle we need to stay curious enough about the world to actually change it. I've never felt so hopeful about what I don't know."
-Brene Brown, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare to Lead
The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn.
With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, Adam Grant investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, harness the advantages of impostor syndrome, bring nuance into charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe all our thoughts or internalize all our emotions. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity over consistency.
