Think It Over is an audiobook about the importance of doubt and how to process new facts more easily and look at your own mistakes with a positive lens. Research shows that the best ones can re-evaluate their positions and are able to change their opinions. In addition, leaders who admit they don't know something and are not afraid of criticism have been shown to lead higher performing and more creative teams.

The first part discusses why it is difficult for a person to rethink a problem and how to master this skill. He points out that "determination" alone can sometimes be detrimental.

The ability to rethink may ultimately be the secret skill that will give you a crucial edge in an ever-faster changing world.
