The Power of Flexible Thinking

It will never work. It's too complex. We've always done it like this.

Are these phrases familiar to you? While we live in a world in perpetual motion, where we are constantly replacing our material goods with more efficient versions, why do we often remain stuck in our ideas?

We seek refuge in the comfort of our convictions, surround ourselves with people who share our views and avoid contradiction.

According to Adam Grant, this is our biggest mistake. Drawing on numerous examples and the latest advances in cognitive science, it shows that the ability to question our beliefs is essential to achieving excellence and wisdom.

We all have the opportunity to learn to test our ideas, accept contradiction and cultivate the benefits of doubt.

Let us cultivate the courage to adopt flexible thinking, because innovation and progress belong to those who know how to rethink.
