GRANTED: Testing your openness and announcing my virtual book tour

January 2021

In toxic cultures, people prove their intelligence by tearing others down. In healthy cultures, people use their intelligence to build others up.
 
Expertise is not a weapon to wield. It’s a resource to share.
 
However, the curse of knowledge is that often closes our minds to what we don’t know. I’m hoping that my book THINK AGAIN will open some minds when it launches on February 2.
 
If you want to assess your approach to rethinking, I’ve created a fun 5-minute quiz.
 
Also, I’m excited to share the schedule for the virtual tour:

  • Feb 3, 7pm CT: Dallas Museum of Art / Arts & Letters Live, with Katie Couric

  • Feb 4, 11am ET: Philadelphia Arts & Business Council, with Luvvie Ajayi Jones

  • Feb 4, 6pm ET: Politics & Prose, with Angela Duckworth

  • Feb 8, 7pm ET: Barnes & Noble, with Glennon Doyle

  • Feb 9, 6pm PT: Live Talks LA, with Ashton Kutcher

  • Feb 19, 6:30pm GMT: How to Academy X Penguin Life UK, with Tim Harford

Looking forward to having some of you join us. In the meantime, some recommendations to kick off 2021:
 
To listen: my favorite podcasts on work and psychology.

To watch: a stellar commencement speech on why people who are always browsing for something better often miss out on committing to something worthwhile.
 
In solidarity,
Adam
 
P.S. For pure entertainment, the shows I loved most in the past year: The Umbrella Academy, What We Do in the Shadows, The Wilds, The Boys, Schitt’s Creek, The Stranger, The Undoing, and Titans.
