Notes on Think Again, by Adam Grant. ## Chapter 3 ### Main idea - People build more developed belief systems and improve if they are willing to challenge their beliefs. - It's unhealthy to hold beliefs and defend them so aggressively - Being wrong and recognizing that is healthy - Recognize when a reaction is emotional, and a defense of the ego, rather than intellectual, and a defense of the idea. - Do not base a personality around ideas, base it around broad, positive values. The material changes, but values can be applied to the material in infinite ways. ### Personal reflection > Think about yourself personally, which group would you be more likely to identify with: the group who hated being challenged, or the group who thought that the abusive challenges were fun? Explain your POV. I believe I do not fit into either group, and would react differently in many different ways, depending on the context at hand
