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 * Brene Brown, Ph.D., #1 New
