Embrace the Joy of Being Wrong
One of the book’s core messages is the significance of embracing our own fallibility.
Grant introduces us to the concept of the “scientist mindset,” a mode of thinking where we are constantly testing our hypotheses and willing to revise them in light of new evidence.
This mindset, as opposed to the preacher, prosecutor, or politician mindsets, allows us to approach problems with an open mind and adapt our strategies based on what works best.
