A wonderful book on reframing our
narrative and teaching us the power of re-thinking,
questioning our opinions and assumptions and
allowing ourselves to explore the surprising joy that
comes with discovering we were wrong :) Backed with
data, Grant uses helpful stories of people who've
derived huge benefits from changing longstanding
perceptions and embraced new ideas, and views. Be
curious, be humble, stay open and flexible and open
the door to more meaningful and personally fulfilling
opportunities and experiences.

This was an interesting and thought provoking book. It deals with the ability to re think the situation, and several examples are given, notably theone where a white supremacist was persuaded to change his mind by a comment from a black musician who asks something along the lines of "why do they hate me, when they don't know me," The many benefits of rethinking are examined and also the ways in which one person can influence another to rethink, such as listening, not preaching. A forecaster is also analysed to see where he scored such a high rate of successful predictions, and the odds of them coming about. This is only part of the book ie the things I found most memorable about it. A good read.

Totally eye opening. As a teacher I can see how this school of thought could actually change the world. Many of mankind’s mistakes have been repeated time and time again due to old fashioned thinking. This book encourages all to think again and change what out core values are: to challenge what we think and rethink things. I am going to do this every day. It’s so important to stop and rethink what you think- Chantelle. What you think you know and become a better person.

A very insightful read. Difficult to follow in places but when you work through that it’s very interesting. Wouldn’t say I agree with everything but it’s always good to hear multiple perspectives!

I do really want to read the book and feel uncomfortable writing in a review section.
