Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller and Times Self-Help Book of the Year, this work explores the vital skill of rethinking—how questioning our opinions can lead to excellence at work and wisdom in life.

Through engaging examples, such as an international debate champion, a musician changing hearts, and a vaccine advocate, the text illustrates the power of mental flexibility, humility, and curiosity. Ultimately, it encourages readers to abandon outdated opinions and recognize that true wisdom lies in understanding what we do not know.
