- Kunsten at vide, hvad du ikke ved
348,95 kr. Denne bog handler om værdien forbundet med at gentænke og aflære. Den amerikanske psykolog og bestsellerforfatter Adam Grant undersøger gentænkningens svære kunst: at lære at forholde sig skeptisk til sine egne meninger og have et mere åbent sind over for andres. Vi opfatter normalt intelligens som evnen til at tænke og lære, men i vores hastigt omskiftelige verden har evnen til at gentænke og aflære måske endnu større betydning. Alt for mange af os foretrækker i dagligdagen bekvemmeligheden og trygheden forbundet med at have faste overbevisninger frem for ubehaget forbundet med at tvivle. Vi opfatter uenighed som en trussel mod vores ego i stedet for en mulighed for at lære. Vi omgiver os med personer, som er enige i vores konklusioner, når vi i virkeligheden burde foretrække dem, der udfordrer vores tankeprocesser. Den globale pandemi har tvunget os alle sammen til at revurdere vores antagelser om sundhed og sikkerhed; adskillige eksempler på politibrutalitet har udfordret de fleste af os i forhold til vores personlige ansvar for at bekæmpe racisme; og mange mennesker fra hele det politiske spektrum har mobiliseret deres egne synspunkter og værdier og/eller desperat forsøgt at overtale andre til at ændre deres. Intelligens er ikke nogen kur – den kan i virkeligheden være en forbandelse: Forskningen viser, at jo mere intelligent man er, jo sværere er det for en at opdatere sine overbevisninger. I Tænk igen opfordrer Adam Grant os ved hjælp af dristige idéer og stringent evidens til at slippe de synspunkter, der ikke længere gavner os, og til at forankre vores identitet i fleksibilitet snarere end i tåbelig konsistens. Han viser bl.a., hvordan en førende international debattør vinder diskussioner, hvordan en sort musiker overtaler hvide racister til at opgive hadet, hvordan en vaccinehvisker overtaler vaccine-modstandere til at få vaccineret deres børn, og hvordan han selv har lokket fans af Yankees til at heppe på Red Sox.

But admiring people who start out with innate advantages leads us to overlook the distance we ourselves can travel. We underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and the amount of ground that we can gain. When opportunity doesn't knock, there are ways to to build a door. Hidden Potential offers a new framework for reaching aspirations and exceeding expectations. Realizing potential isn't about being a workaholic or a perfectionist. What matters most is not how hard we work, but how well we learn. It's not about being a genius-growth depends more on developing character skills than cognitive skills. The character skills that propel progress include the proactivity to absorb and adapt to new information, the courage to embrace discomfort, and the determination to find the beauty in imperfections. Mastering those skills doesn't require us to find the one perfect mentor or expert coach to guide us. Often we just need to borrow a compass to begin charting our own path. And we can clear the path for more people by building better systems of opportunity in our schools, teams, and workplaces. Many writers have chronicled the habits of superstars who accomplish great things. This book breaks new ground by revealing how anyone can rise to achieve greater things.

In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. 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. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds-and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners.

148,95 kr. Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, the most crucial skill may be the ability to rethink and unlearn. Recent global and political changes have forced many of us to re-evaluate our opinions and decisions. Yet we often still favour the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt, and prefer opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. Intelligence is no cure, and can even be a curse. The brighter we are, the blinder we can become to our own limitations.Adam Grant - Wharton's top-rated professor and #1 bestselling author - offers bold ideas and rigorous evidence to show how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, encourage others to rethink topics as wide-ranging as abortion and climate change, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, and how a vaccine whisperer convinces anti-vaxxers to immunize their children. Think Again is an invitation to let go of stale opinions and prize mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what you don't know is wisdom.
