Unlearning and Relearning requires much more—it requires choosing Courage over Comfort ,,
the two books I read on the subject of unlearning and Relearning took on 2 stages .. from the first Book
Trumping Richer and then follow by
Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don't Know
“THIS. This is the right book for right now. Yes, learning requires focus. But, unlearning and relearning requires much more—it requires choosing courage over comfort. In Think Again, Adam Grant weaves together research and storytelling to help us build the intellectual and emotional muscle we need to stay curious enough about the world to actually change it. I’ve never felt so hopeful about what I don’t know.”
—Brené Brown, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare to Lead"Think Again is a must-read for anyone who wants to create a culture of learning and exploration, whether at home, at work, or at school... In an increasingly divided world, the lessons in this book are more important than ever."
–Bill and Melinda Gates
During a Time of Pandemic which boost an Unlearning process |
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking. The brighter we are, the blinder to our own limitations we can become.
Organizational psychologist Adam Grant is an expert on opening other people's minds--and our own. As Wharton's top-rated professor and the bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, he makes it one of his guiding principles to argue like he's right but listen like he's wrong. With bold ideas and rigorous evidence, he investigates how we can embrace the joy of being wrong, bring nuance to charged conversations, and build schools, workplaces, and communities of lifelong learners. You'll learn how an international debate champion wins arguments, a Black musician persuades white supremacists to abandon hate, a vaccine whisperer convinces concerned parents to immunize their children, and Adam has coaxed Yankees fans to root for the Red Sox. Think Again reveals that we don't have to believe everything we think or internalize everything we feel. It's an invitation to let go of views that are no longer serving us well and prize mental flexibility over foolish consistency. If knowledge is power, knowing what we don't know is wisdom.
Pre-Pandemic time stage of Unlearning |
What clearly he meant is that we need to learn and unlearn as we continue to stay updated with what that works and those that no longer works
Much has changed since the baby boomers days ,including the path of staying ahead amid today's age of disruptive technologies prompting creative thinking and more on ideation output
To succeed from now , one must learn to accept the constant change to adaptation – continually unlearning old 'rules' and relearning new ones.
That requires continually questioning assumptions about how things has changed , non-valid old paradigms, and 'relearning' what is now relevant to pursue in acquiring your wealth.
TRUMPING RICHER ,,This book is filled with excellent ideas and concepts of daily struggle to understand money science, It emphasize on how every salaried person need to struggle each day trying to recover his daily expenditure and living his life facing such rat race will just keep all these people locked down with each day only looking for ways and means to earn money .. the struggle pushes on
There is a lot here in this book that can help an individual move toward financial freedom through understanding money and the mindset required to become wealthy, of which means you need to know what it is that separates the wealthy from the Not-so wealthy.
What you need to know and identify with is what principles and what behaviour the rich have , and that you need to relearn . Some of which , you have not taken action to unlearn yet ,to stay current and getting ahead
" Happiness that Money brings cannot last " ,
With Money , People cannot necessarily materialize everything , However without money many things cannot be accomplished nor done
Accumulation of wealth with the pleasure to have comfort , luxuries , reputable status , financial influence, freedom and popularity are what money usually can help to achieve , its provides a centralized role in our lives , at a general necessity stage level as it helps to clothe and feed us ,to put a nice accommodation for stay and pay the bills.
Money may not be everything, they may not even guarantee a happy life, but they are a pretty good basis to learn how to build happiness on ... for nowÂ
I highly recommend this book to anyone who'd like to ignore the fluff available on the Internet and take action now.
Now that being said, this book assumes you know about the basics like Cash Flow, budgeting, etc.
It doesn't talk about investment mediums like stock market, bond, etc.
And the best part is that unlike many books, this book tells you not to lead a frugal life
