I found this book interesting, and particularly applicable to my life right now as I am anticipating a career change. That being said, it seemed like he didn't have very many different concepts. He basically said the same thing in different ways for 7 hours. I also thought his main premise wasn't that remarkable. To me it was like, "of course, you should try to reexamine your assumptions and think critically."
Factfulness by Hans Rosling covered a lot of the same ideas, but was more impactful. I didn't dislike the Think Again, but I certainly wouldn't say it was life-changing. (2021, 320 p)

Think Again by Adam Grant
Adam Grant here discusses at length the virtues of not getting stuck in a particular train of thought or course in life. Different chapters talk about questioning your long-held beliefs, teaching children to think critically, and avoiding confirmation bias. He also talks about applying these principles to organizations and relationships with others. Much like his other books, he recounts interesting true stories to illustrate each of his chapters.
