Adam Grant | Why You Should Rethink A Lot More Than You Do

Celebrated organizational psychologist and author Adam Grant provides compelling insight into why we should spend time not just thinking, but rethinking. In this episode we cover how to change our own views, how to change the views of others, hiring processes, psychological safety, tribes and group identity, feigned knowledge, binary bias, and so much more.
Grant is a Professor of Psychology at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the author of five books, including his most recent release, the New York Times bestseller Think Again. He also serves as the host of WorkLife, a TED original podcast.

Adam Grant is one of the best thinkers of our time. This is one of the best, if not the best interview I’ve heard with him.

Shocked to see so few comments and views to the point I feel motivated to comment without being lost in the deluge. As a habitual rethinker to the point of indecision, I enjoyed the discussion of when rethinking is needed but hoped for more about when rethinking is just delaying a decision or questioning something that is not currently changeable. The effort it takes to rethink seems to be a barrier for some especially if they have a very short time horizon for results. This was the most engaging discussion I've listened to for some time and the video added a useful dimension.

People's having lots of time to spend in humour They don't have quality time to spend with lovely speaker n author We are lucky that we reach the level of learning with Adam Sir Thank u Adams Sir I would love to listen u more n more about the clarity of the living in presence.

[@jjphenom2831]

Great conversation! I wonder why the number of views/likes/comments do not represent the quality of this channel in any way whatsoever. This channel absolutely deserves YTs algorithms exponential reach!

[@SeanKernan]

It's the microphone getting static. I can't listen.

[@ashvanths3214]

dammnnn this is so underrated ... thanks for uploading this

[@davidharbour8898]

I think the question about why we elect certain people has to do with believing that they know what to do, we want someone who will validate that they will take care of us.

[@armandosanchez4281]

Fully agree on the need for trust and respect to achieve psychological safety…but it is also required SELF-respect and SELF-trust (self-confidence). That is why I think that leaders should also also need to work on that area (that is I why, for instance, coaching is so important). It would be nice to see some research on this Adam! 😉

This video is very shiny

[@blake1473]

Shane, have you considered having Andrew Huberman on your podcast as a guest? He’s a neurologist who’s been very active in the podcast community and I think it could make for an interesting discussion.

[@alexfloyd3700]

Shane, Tiktok channel! Start with just that opening segments you use as your hook. "Change your mind" and own the super short form, after excelling in the long-form. Unrelated, I don't understand myself why KZbin distribution of TKP hasn't blown up more, given how successful the podcast is.

[@tkppodcast]

Great idea, Alex! We're working on that. - The FS Team

TBH I don't want this knowledge to go mainstream

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation present your requests to God by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding shall guard your minds and hearts in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7

This has no views/comments or likes because it's woke garbage. Take a swim in reality.
