What's it about?

Adam Grant exposes the mental trap that stalls most minds: we default to preacher, prosecutor, or politician mode, defending positions instead of testing them. The antidote is thinking like a scientist, where curiosity replaces conviction and being wrong becomes cause for celebration, not shame. From unconscious incompetence to constructive conflict, Grant maps how the strongest thinkers turn intellectual adversaries into dance partners and transform the question "Am I right?" into "Can I get closer to the truth?"

You'll learn:

- Why unconscious incompetence breeds false confidence

- How constructive conflict strengthens ideas, not destroys them

- The shift from winning arguments to triggering genuine thought
