We don't like changing our minds, right? It's uncomfortablea it can create a lot of cognitive dissonence. One reason you say that we might open to rethinking is because we're over confident. And you talk in your book about not confusing over confidence with competence. I think when people are lacking knowledge or skill, sometimes they also don't know what knowledge or skill looks like in that domain.
Psychologist and author Adam Grant talks with Maya about the science of changing peoples’ minds, including our own. Adam also takes some of his own advice and rethinks some of his ideas.
