A BETTER MINDSET FOR GROWTH THINK BETTER WITH ADAM GRANT’S ‘THINK AGAIN’
Think about the sting you feel when you are proven wrong. It hurts, doesn’t it?
more accessibility to information, we must be willing to do two things: rethink and unlearn.
But what if it didn’t have to? Better yet, what if it shouldn’t?
Grant challenges readers to stand in the discomfort of being wrong, celebrate that there is something new to learn, and challenge themselves to interact with those who propose a new way of thinking. By doing so, Grant asserts that we can speak and argue with conviction while actually engaging and listening to arguments as if we are wrong. This allows us to learn, engage, and grow. In “Think Again,” Grant asks readers to consider better ways to approach their steadfast beliefs. Readers will find amusement in Grant’s real-world examples of turning skeptics into believers within a variety of topics. And, through these examples, readers will discover new ways to listen so they can gain a greater understanding of the world around them.
Regardless of our attempts at humility, humans’ egos have inflated, and we are all conditioned to believe that being wrong somehow equates to being a bad person. However, renowned author and psychologist Adam Grant challenges this notion in his New York Times bestseller, “Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know.” With today’s divisive climate, Grant argues that we hold our beliefs up like a badge, illuminating them so brightly that we become blind to other truths or realities. Far too often, our mindsets focus on what is black and white, rather than understanding the gray nuances found in between. In “Think Again,” Grant’s third book, he argues that as rapidly as we get information in today’s digital world, we cannot be expected to fully know all of it.

CASE EXPLAINED WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR A DUI CRASH?
Facing driving under the influence (DUI) charges is nerve-wracking and can lead to a lot of anxiety. However, when a person is injured as a result of a DUI accident, the offender is punished much more strictly, and the courts are not nearly as lenient as they are with no- damage DUIs. Even with a first-time DUI charge, if someone loses their life or becomes disabled because of the crash, the court will likely be very harsh on the drunk driver. Most first-time DUIs are misdemeanors. But if you injure or kill someone while intoxicated, the charge generally escalates to a felony. In the event that you are ever accused of being at fault in a DUI accident, contacting a DUI criminal defense attorney is in your best interest. The penalties you may face for a DUI crash, just like with other DUI cases, depend on the charges. If you are facing DUI murder charges, you may potentially end up spending years in prison. If the victim’s injuries are minimal, you could possibly face some time in jail, but you could also enter a plea agreement for probation. Each situation is penalized on a case-by-case basis.
The potential penalties for a DUI may include the following:
•
Substantial fines
•
Probation
•
Extended prison sentences
•
Suspension or revocation of driving privileges
•
Ignition interlock device
•
Alcohol treatment programs
•
Restitution
If you are ever involved in a DUI case, a DUI defense lawyer will be extremely beneficial in helping you to develop a defense strategy based on the facts of the case. It should be noted that it is possible to have more than one valid defense to the criminal charges.
