Download or read book Think Again written by Adam Grant and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-12-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “THIS. This is the right book for right now. Yes, learning requires focus. But, unlearning and relearning requires much more—it requires choosing courage over comfort. In Think Again, Adam Grant weaves together research and storytelling to help us build the intellectual and emotional muscle we need to stay curious enough about the world to actually change it. I’ve never felt so hopeful about what I don’t know.” —Brené Brown, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare to Lead The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Potential, Originals, and Give and Take examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds--and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.

Download or read book The Solution Book 101 Techniques for Successful Ideation and Problem Solving written by Elina Kallas and published by InVigeo, LLC. This book was released on with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CB Insights study suggests that 42% of startups fail because they do not identify the right need, in other words: there is no need for the startup or product in the first place. The issue here is the lack of tools used to generate the ideas and validate those. Bottom line, this issue is about a structured approach to idea generation and problem-solving. Do you know that most people engaged in collective problem solving spend a lot of their valuable time in meetings, discussing ideas, which they think eventually do not add value to product or startup? Harvard Business Review survey suggests that 71% of managers feel that meetings do not help accomplish much, as they do not have specific templates and exercises to guide specific outcomes with engagement from participants. THE SOLUTION BOOK is going to help you in experimenting with ideas effectively by providing you steps on how to create a framework for coming up with new ideas and products, considering a variety of views, develop teamwork and collaboration keeping you better focused on your results and outcomes. The solution book consists of 101 easy to follow techniques on problem-solving and ideation. Startup, innovation and venture failures are expensive and justified only by lack of tools and data for analysis. The book caters to all stages in your lifecycle as a creative thinker and problem solver with tools to optimize your resources, go beyond conventional solutions and experiment with divergent (out of the box) thinking thanks to Elina Kallas, a researcher on entrepreneurship education with European Commission and in entrepreneurship at Harvard University, and Vidyangi Patil, an interdisciplinary professional of Biomedical Engineering with an extensive startup and research experience.

Download or read book The Answer to How Is Yes written by Peter Block and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern culture’s worship of “how-to” pragmatism has turned us into instruments of efficiency and commerce—but we’re doing more and more about things that mean less and less. We constantly ask “how? and still struggle to find purpose and act on what matters. Instead of acting on what we know to be of importance, we wait for bosses to change, we seek the latest fad, we invest in one more degree. Asking how keeps us safe—instead of being led by our hearts into uncharted territory, we keep our heads down and stick to the rules. But we are gaining the world and losing our souls. Peter Block puts the “how-to” craze in perspective and presents a guide to the difficult and life-granting journey of bringing what we know is of personal value into an indifferent or even hostile corporate and cultural landscape. He raises our awareness of the trade-offs we’ve made in the name of practicality and expediency, and offers hope for a way of life in which we’re motivated not by what “works,” but by the things that truly matter in life—idealism, intimacy, depth and engagement.

Download or read book Holistic Thinking written by Joseph E. Kasser and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the skills to identify and solve problems are becoming recognised as being increasingly important, there are not many good ways to help you acquire those skills. This book is designed to help you help you acquire those skills so as to be able to deal with undesirable situations, identify the right problem and provide the optimal acceptable solution from the range of prospective solutions.The needed skill for providing acceptable solutions is the ability to think differently to that of your contemporaries. You need to go beyond systems thinking and apply holistic thinking to the matter at hand. This book helps you develop that skill, building on the works of W. Edwards Deming (Quality), Peter Senge (systems thinking), Tom Peters, Peter Drucker and Michael Hammer and James Champy (management) to tell you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and provide you with the understanding of why it must be done. While systems thinking can help you to understand relationships in situations and think systemically and systematically, systems thinking alone cannot help you provide innovative solutions to complex problems. This is because understanding situations is only the first step on the journey that provides those innovative solutions. This book provides you with frameworks and classifications systemically and systematically starting by discussing thinking, then taking you through thinking about undesirable situations and problems and how to convert them to acceptable solutions.The book is split into three parts: * Part I. Thinking and ideas.* Part II. Using the ideas in problem-solving.* Part III. Innovative solutions to complex problems.Part I provides the thinking and communications tools which are used to create and communicate innovative solutions to complex problems. Chapter 2 introduces you to thinking and introduces some of the tools you can use to assist your creative thinking. Chapter 3 discusses ways to communicate ideas because there is little point in generating ideas if you are not going to do anything with them. Chapter 4 introduces nine Holistic Thinking Perspectives (HTP) as anchor points on the perspectives perimeter and more.Chapter 5: Introduces and provides an overview of critical thinking. Part II covers the problem-solving aspect of creating innovative solutions to complex problems. Chapter 6 introduces Active Brainstorming as a way to increase the numbers of ideas generated by brainstorming using the HTPs coupled with the Kipling questions "who, what, where, when, why and how". Chapter 7 discusses the nature of systems and complex systems.Chapter 8 discusses decision-making because decision-making is at the heart of problem-solving. Chapter 9 discusses problems and solutions, the assumptions behind problem-solving, ways to remedy problems and introduces a holistic approach to managing problems and solutions. Part III provides examples of innovative solutions to complex problems showing how the progressive perspectives went beyond systems thinking and contributed to the innovative solutions and concludes by suggesting things you can do to start to become an innovator.Chapter 10 provides a range of examples of holistic thinking. Each example not only illustrates how the problem-solving process was tailored but provides examples of other aspects of finding innovative solutions to complex problems such as where things went correctly and where and how things can and did go wrong.Chapter 11 provides macro and micro examples of perceiving several issues/systems from various points on the perspectives perimeter for different purposes, the insights obtained and the resulting innovative solutions. Chapter 12 provides suggestions for how you can go about creating your own innovative solutions to complex problems.This book also provides a definitive answer to the question, "what came first, the chicken or the egg?"
