Think Again By Adam Grant

What if the ability to rethink what you believe could be more valuable than simply knowing more?

In this episode, Dave and Poppy explore Think Again by Adam Grant, a fascinating look at the power of rethinking.

Grant challenges us to question our assumptions, reconsider opinions that may no longer serve us, and become more comfortable with changing our minds when new information comes to light.

The book explores why we can become attached to our beliefs and why being wrong can feel uncomfortable.

Grant introduces the idea of approaching our thinking more like a scientist, testing assumptions rather than defending them, and remaining curious enough to consider perspectives that challenge our own.

Dave and Poppy unpack how this way of thinking can apply to everyday life, from relationships and conversations to work, decision-making and personal growth.

Sometimes the biggest barrier to progress isn't a lack of knowledge, but our unwillingness to reconsider what we already think we know.

Think Again also explores how we communicate with people who see the world differently. Instead of trying to win every argument, there is value in asking better questions, listening more carefully and creating space for genuine reconsideration.

This episode is an invitation to look at your own beliefs with a little more curiosity. What could change if, instead of being afraid to say "I was wrong", you saw changing your mind as a sign that you are still learning?
