I recently read @AdamMGrant Book, "Think Again" and here are my biggest takeaways (a thread):
1. THINK LIKE A SCIENTIST - when forming an opinion, resist the temptation to be a preacher, prosecuter, or politician. Treat your view as a hunch or hypothesis and not as gospel.

2. SEEK OUT INFORMATION THAT GOES AGAINST YOUR VIEWS - don& #39;t just follow along with people and ideas that you agree with.

3. EMBRACE BEING WRONG - being wrong means you have learned something new, it isn& #39;t a shot to your ego.
