具体描述
"Think Again is a must-read for anyone who wants to create a culture of learning and exploration, whether at home, at work, or at school... In an increasingly divided world, the lessons in this book are more important than ever."
--Bill and Melinda Gates
The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals 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.

读后感
读完这本今年刚刚出版的《Think Again》，十分通俗易懂的心理学认知大众科普读物，觉得十分有必要写篇书评总结一下心得和实践运用方法。 ps 很多道理说起来都很容易懂，但是关键在实践，不是吗？所以，作者最后给出的实践指南还是相当受用的。 前言 我们很多人大概都知道关于认...
The entire book is mostly pouring ideas rather than giving much scientific explanation. It’s a bit cheating. I don’t feel the ideas are well thought. It feels like a lot of random ideas, very raw, premature ideas that occurred to you on a random afternoon...

这本新近读到的作品，名为《沉思录》，着实让人耳目一新。它并非那种堆砌着晦涩理论的学术巨著，倒像是一场深入心灵的漫长对话。作者的笔触极其细腻，仿佛能穿透事物表象直抵核心，尤其在探讨“惯性思维”与“认知盲区”时，那种不留情面的剖析，让人在阅读时常常会心一笑，继而陷入沉思——有多少次，我们只是因为“一直以来都是这样”而拒绝了更好的可能性？书中引用了大量生动的案例，从日常生活中那些看似微不足道的决定，到宏大叙事中那些历史性的转折点，作者都将其置于显微镜下，细细解剖了人类在面对新信息和冲突观点时，心理机制是如何自动启动防御机制的。我尤其欣赏它所倡导的那种谦逊的求知态度，它并非要求我们彻底抛弃过往的信念，而是鼓励我们像对待一件需要定期保养的工具一样，去审视和打磨自己的认知框架。读完合上书本，我感觉自己像是刚刚完成了一次彻底的精神大扫除，许多积灰已久的角落被重新照亮，那些过去困扰我的难题，似乎也因此找到了新的切入点。这种思维上的松动和拓展，远比书中的任何一个具体结论来得更有价值。
读完这本《回响与洞见》，我有一种强烈的感受：作者简直是人类非理性行为的超级观察家。这本书的叙事风格非常跳跃，它不像传统意义上的论述文，更像是一系列精心编排的心理学实验观察报告和哲学碎片组成的拼贴画。最令人印象深刻的是它对于“确认偏误”的描述，那种描述的精确度和穿透力，让我回想起自己过去几次重大的判断失误，无不与此有关。书中有一章专门分析了社交媒体时代信息茧房的形成过程，它用极具画面感的语言描绘了算法如何一步步将我们塑造成自己最喜欢的版本的听众，而代价却是我们对异议声音的免疫力急剧下降。这种写作方式，大量的对比和反讽，让阅读体验充满了张力，你几乎无法轻松地将它视为纯粹的消遣，它不断地挑战你的既有立场。我感觉作者一直在用一种近乎挑衅的语气，轻叩读者的心门，问：“你真的确定你所坚信的是你独立思考的结果吗？”它没有给出标准答案，而是留下了一片广阔的、需要我们自己去探索的灰色地带，这才是真正有力量的引导。
这是一本需要细细品味的“慢书”，名为《觉醒的路径》。它的语言有一种独特的节奏感，仿佛作者在缓慢而坚定地引导我们穿过一片迷雾重重的森林。与其他探讨“如何思考”的书籍不同，这本书花了大量篇幅去探讨“如何感受思考的过程”。作者将认知过程与情绪体验紧密联系起来，指出许多时候我们拒绝接受新信息，并非因为逻辑上的不通，而是因为那样会带来强烈的情感不适，比如焦虑、尴尬或自我否定。书中对“认知失调”的描写尤其深刻，它不仅仅是一个心理学术语，更被描绘成一种日常生活中无处不在的内在拉锯战。阅读过程中，我发现自己开始留意自己的情绪反应，当读到某个观点挑战我的既有信念时，我能清晰地感觉到身体里的那股抗拒感，这本身就是一种巨大的进步。作者的论证充满了人文关怀，它让我们意识到，改变想法是一件困难且脆弱的事情，因此，我们需要学会善待那个正在努力适应新现实的“旧我”。全书的基调是温和而坚定的，像一位睿智的长者在陪伴你完成一场艰难的内在蜕变。
我最近读完的这部《逻辑的边缘》给我带来了极大的智力冲击。这本书的切入角度非常独特，它没有停留在“什么是好的逻辑”，而是深入探讨了“逻辑是如何被情境和文化劫持的”。作者似乎对人类历史上的各种辩论和思想交锋都有深入研究，书中大量的历史脚注和跨文化案例分析，构建了一个极其坚实的论证基础。它的行文风格极为严谨，逻辑链条环环相扣，但同时又充满了文学性的张力，尤其是在批判那些看似无懈可击的“伪逻辑”时，那种抽丝剥茧的酣畅淋漓感是无与伦比的。我特别喜欢它对语言模糊性的探讨，指出我们常常因为对同一词汇的不同心照不宣的理解，导致了看似逻辑清晰却毫无交集的对话。读完此书，我感觉自己对日常交流中的误解有了更深的理解，也更有能力去识别那些潜藏在华丽辞藻下的逻辑陷阱。这是一部需要读者全神贯注，甚至需要边读边做笔记的作品，它更像是一部思想的训练手册，而非轻松的读物。
这部名为《重塑蓝图》的著作，给我的整体感觉是极其务实的，它成功地将高深的认知科学知识“翻译”成了可执行的日常行动指南。它的结构非常清晰，每一章都围绕一个具体的思维误区展开，并紧接着提供了一套详细的“反制工具箱”。与其他同类书籍不同的是，这本书没有沉溺于哲学思辨，而是直接指向“行动”和“改变”。例如，在谈到“未来贴现”问题时，作者不仅解释了它为什么会发生，还提供了一系列基于行为经济学的微小干预技巧，帮助读者更好地做出长期规划。这种“理论解释 + 实用技巧”的双重结构，使得阅读体验非常高效。我尝试着运用书中的某些方法来处理我工作中的一些拖延问题，效果立竿见影，这让我对作者的洞察力深感佩服。这本书的语言是直接而充满动力的，它不给你喘息的机会，而是推着你立即去实践和检验。读完之后，我没有停留在思考层面，而是立刻开始整理我的待办事项清单，并应用了书中提到的“最小可行步骤”原则。这是一本真正能让人“动起来”的书。
也许对心理学专业来说，本书的观点并不新颖，但对于非专业来说，每个观点引出的建议都非常实用！作者实践自己的理论，通过实例以轻松幽默的语言娓娓道来，让人很容易接受。好书！
其实为何要重新思考，对应的其实是战胜这个世界的本质-如何抵抗熵增。人的思维成长成型的过程也是固化的过程，重新思考就是开放大脑，在艰难中选择自信又谦虚，避免僵化。相信自己有能力去成长理解，但同时又知道自己资源和知识的欠缺。自信缺不完美。但不被自己的观点、身份、以前的自己所绑架，这在我看来是不可能的，屁股决定脑袋，知道自己是被影响就够了，自我至少是清醒的。
对于个人在集体中合作有极大的帮助. 如果你有很多个人理由反驳对方 不要一一列举 对方针对你最薄弱的理由反驳 所以只需要使用最有利的论据
