Think Again- Book Review


If you are new to Adam Grant and want to read his books, "Think Again" should be your first choice.

The author outlines 4 kinds of thinking frameworks:  Preacher, Prosecutor, politician, and Scientist.

The mode which is most difficult to notice is  The politician framework [“I don’t care about truth but I will do what people expect of me”] 

I am trying to steer away from these 3 modes and move towards the scientist mode. ["I don't know, but let's find out the truth"].

Every chapter was on average 20 pages long, making it easy to read in one sitting.  Grant's wit and writing style have vastly improved after his first book "Give and Take."
