THINK AGAIN

I’m currently reading Adam Grant’s latest, Think Again. In a fractured world, it is a timely take on an old zen concept: shoshin or beginner’s mind. A beginner’s mind is curious, open and free and in this mindset we are willing to rethink and unlearn even our most conditioned beliefs.

When we drop our need to be right and have the courage to admit what we don’t know, life opens up with infinite possibilities. Whenever we are too sure or too defensive of our point of view, these are exactly the moments we should pause to think again.

One quote…

In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s there are few.

Shunryu Suzuki

One question…

In the last year, what new belief has most improved your life?
