Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know

Gather initial thoughts and broad opinions about the book.

1. How did Grant's use of diverse examples—from NASA disasters and vaccine hesitancy to the Wright brothers—affect your engagement with the book's core message? Have you encountered similar approaches in other popular psychology books, such as the works of Malcolm Gladwell?

2. What was your initial reaction to Grant's framework of the four modes of thinking (preacher, prosecutor, politician, and scientist)? Which mode did you most identify with? Did your approach change as you read the book?

3. In what ways did the book challenge or reinforce your existing beliefs about intelligence and learning? What aspects of Grant's argument for "rethinking" did you find most convincing or problematic?

Encourage readers to connect the book’s themes and characters with their personal experiences.

1. Think about a time when you strongly held a belief that you later changed. What prompted that change? How does your experience align with or differ from Grant's descriptions of rethinking cycles?

2. Grant discusses the concept of "confident humility." How do you balance confidence in your abilities with openness to the possibility of being wrong? What areas of your life might benefit from the application of confident humility?
