These are the best quotes from Think Again by Adam Grant. If you want to read a full summary of this book for free, click here.
Our Totalitarian Ego
"We laugh at people who still use Windows 95, yet we still cling to opinions that we formed in 1995. We listen to views that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard."
Section: 1, Chapter: 3
A Pointless Argument
"In a heated argument, you can always stop and ask, 'What evidence would change your mind?' If the answer is 'nothing,' then there's no point in continuing the debate. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it think."
Section: 2, Chapter: 5
Listen To Communicate
"Many communicators try to make themselves look smart. Great listeners are more interested in making their audiences feel smart. They help people approach their own views with more humility, doubt, and curiosity."
Section: 2, Chapter: 7
Spotting Complexity Is A Sign Of Credibility
"As consumers of information, we have a role to play in embracing a more nuanced point of view. When we're reading, listening, or watching, we can learn to recognize complexity as a signal of credibility. We can favor content and sources that present many sides of an issue rather than just one or two."
Section: 3, Chapter: 8
