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
