The author states, “We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval—and too little like scientists searching for truth.” Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist, makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he’s right but listen like he’s wrong. Learning to rethink your opinions can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life.
