330: How and Why To ‘Think Again’

In this week’s episode, we explore Adam Grant’s book, “Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know.” Our topic is rethinking and how taking a scientific approach to life can help us live more harmoniously. I discuss the ‘three P’ modes—prosecutor, preacher, and politician—and how to take a curious, intellectually humble approach to working with others and being yourself. 

Highlights of this episode include: 

• Why this book is important and how to cultivate an “us” mindset rather than a “them” mindset

• The benefits of the Buddhist way

• What the three different modes of thinking—preacher, prosecutor, and politician—are and how they impact our relationships

• What the scientific approach is and how to use it to learn and negotiate
