Think Again by Adam Grant was an eye-opening read that completely changed how I approach decision-making. The book challenges the idea that sticking to our initial beliefs is a sign of strength and instead encourages the habit of rethinking and questioning. Grant emphasizes the importance of intellectual humility—being open to changing your mind when presented with new evidence. The concept of approaching decisions like a scientist, where you test and update your assumptions rather than clinging to them, really stuck with me.

The most important takeaway for me was learning to step back and reassess the whole picture before making a decision. It’s a habit I’ve integrated into my daily life, whether it’s a small decision like choosing which cookies to buy at the supermarket or a major life choice like whether to accept or decline a job offer. This ability to pause, reconsider, and adjust my approach has not only made my decisions more thoughtful but has also helped me stay more adaptable and confident in navigating uncertainty.
