Summary

This book is an invitation to let go of knowledge and opinions that are no longer serving you well, and to anchor your sense of self in flexibility rather than consistency. If one can master the art of rethinking, it argues, we’ll be better positioned for success at work and happiness in life. The first section focuses on opening our own minds. The second section directs attention to how we may productively engage others in changing their minds. The third section is about how we can best create communities of lifelong learners.
