Sometimes we need to keep it simple.

Think again.

Those words alone sound pretty threatening, don't they?

Why is it that we're so threatened by the idea of rethinking?

It could be that we're afraid to find out that we were wrong. It could be that we've held a certain belief so long or so strongly that we fear what others may think of us if we don't hold that belief anymore.

You know, it could also be that you find strength in your position AND you find room to consider a different position. You could end up learning more about the topic and/or about yourself in the process.

Adam Grant's Think Again is an important read for all of us. The words "think again" shift from threatening to empowering. Being willing to think about your thinking isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength.

Reading this book may challenge you and your beliefs, but then again, if you were willing to be challenged, that's the whole point.
