Trinity University will welcome Adam Grant for the 2026 Flora Cameron Lecture on Politics and Public Affairs to discuss “Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know” on Wednesday, March 25, at 7:30 p.m. in Laurie Auditorium.ABOUT THE LECTURE
Many visions, strategies, and best practices were created in a world that no longer exists. The faster our environment changes, the more critical it becomes to rethink our assumptions. Organizational psychologist Adam Grant finds that the very skills that make us good at thinking and learning can make us worse at rethinking and unlearning.
Building on his No. 1 New York Times bestselling book, Think Again (called “brilliant” by Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman), Adam examines how we can update our own opinions, open other people’s minds, and build a learning organization in which people know what they don’t know and are eager to improve on the status quo. His eye-opening evidence and entertaining delivery will leave you determined to never again say “that’s the way we’ve always done it.”
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
As the youngest tenured professor in the history of the Wharton School, Grant has spent his career studying motivation, generosity, creativity, and the science of rethinking. He is the author of six No. 1 New York Times bestsellers: Hidden Potential, Think Again, Give and Take, Originals, Option B, and Power Moves, which have sold millions of copies and been translated into 45 languages.
He is also the host of two widely acclaimed TED podcasts, Re:Thinking and WorkLife, which together have surpassed 90 million downloads. His TED Talks on original thinkers, givers and takers, and the psychology of languishing have garnered more than 35 million views, and his 2021 New York Times article on “languishing” was the publication’s most-read piece of the year.
