Praise for First Platoon One of Houston Chronicle's "10 books that brought a little magic to their genres" in 2021 | One of Science for the People's "Best Science Books of the Year" | On The Octavian's 2021 Book List &ldquo;Jacobsen brings empathy, compassion, compelling writing, and some truly dogged reporting.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;Jacobsen follows the lives of Americans told to gather that data in Afghanistan&mdash;and she questions what the U.S. government means to do with it all.&rdquo;&mdash;NPR&ldquo;A deeply researched book about modern warfare. A startling prompt to stop worrying about fabricated conspiracy theories and to consider for a moment actual threats to privacy.&rdquo;&mdash;Houston Chronicle&ldquo;First Platoon tells two parallel stories that will keep those of us concerned about civil liberties up at night. Jacobsen dives into the troubling tale of 1st Lt. Clint Lorance, the disgraced former military leader who ordered the murder of Afghan civilians in one of the ugliest events for the U.S. military in the continuous wars since 9/11. She takes the story far beyond Lorance&rsquo;s controversial pardon by President Donald Trump, though, detailing a largely unreported secretive program to catalog the personal and physical information of 80% of the Afghan population in a quest for &lsquo;identity dominance.'&rdquo;&mdash;The Seattle Times&ldquo;A thought-provoking tale.... Bombshell finding.&rdquo;&mdash;Military History Magazine  &ldquo;This fascinating book functions as modern history but also a cautionary tale about the heavily gray area of the War on Terror and its tactics. This is grade A Journalism.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco City Book Review (five star review)

Named a best nonfiction book of 2021 by The Washington Post"Renowned Wharton professor Grant spotlights one of the most important and impactful themes of our time: questioning one's own deeply held beliefs. Grant frames true knowledge as not knowing everything, but rather, listening as if we knew nothing at all in this intrepid book that is what our present moment requires."&mdash;Newsweek, "Our 21 Favorite Books of 2021"&ldquo;In a world of aggressive certitude, Adam Grant&rsquo;s latest book is a refreshing mandate for humble open-mindedness. Think Again offers a particularly powerful case for rethinking what we already know . . . that is not just a useful lesson; it could be a vital one.&rdquo;&mdash;Financial Times&ldquo;In his latest book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don&rsquo;t Know, [Grant] is in vintage form.&rdquo;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal   &ldquo;Think Again delivers smart advice on unlearning assumptions and opening ourselves up to curiosity and humility.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post &#160; &ldquo;Adam Grant&rsquo;s latest book pushes us to reconsider, rethink, reevaluate and reimagine our beliefs, thoughts, and identities and get to the core of why we believe what we do, why it is so important to us, and why we are steadfast to hold on to those ideas and beliefs. . . . It teaches us to stop digging our heels and doubling down and consider other people&rsquo;s points of view so that we may grow our own.&#160;Once again, Adam Grant succeeded in turning our very way of thinking upside down as he pushes us to examine the obvious.&rdquo;&mdash;Forbes"This book blends psychology and self-help to prove how doubt, failing, and rethinking are instrumental to improving ourselves and our world. . . . In three sections, he outlines why we struggle to embrace feedback, how we can help others rethink effectively, and how our communities can shift to encourage rethinking."&mdash;Business Insider&ldquo;Grant is a born communicator&mdash;engaging and impossibly articulate. . . . Think Again . . . digs into the synaptic weirdness of why we think how we do and how we know what (we think) we know. The bottom line: In a world that&rsquo;s constantly changing, we could all benefit from deliberately reassessing our cherished opinions.&rdquo;&mdash;Goodreads user&ldquo;Adam Grant believes that keeping an open mind is a teachable skill. And no one could teach this hugely valuable skill better than he does in this wonderful read. The striking insights of this brilliant book are guaranteed to make you rethink your opinions and your most important decisions.&rdquo;&mdash;Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize winner in economics and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Thinking, Fast and Slow &#160; &ldquo;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&#160;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.&#160;I&rsquo;ve never felt so hopeful about what I don&rsquo;t know.&rdquo;&mdash;Bren&eacute; Brown, Ph.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dare to Lead&ldquo;Adam Grant makes a captivating argument that if we have the humility and curiosity to reconsider our beliefs, we can always reinvent ourselves. Think Again helped me learn about how great thinkers and achievers don&rsquo;t let expertise or experience stand in the way of being perpetual students.&rdquo;&mdash;M. Night Shyamalan, director of The Sixth Sense and Split &#160;&ldquo;Readers will find common ground in many of his compelling arguments (ideologies, sports rivals), making this a thought-provoking read.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;[A] fast-paced account by a leading authority on the psychology of thinking.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal, (starred review)&ldquo;For anyone who wants to create a culture of learning and exploration at home, work&#160;or school, Grant distills complex research into a compelling case for why each of us should continually question old assumptions and embrace new ideas and perspectives.&rdquo;&mdash;Entrepreneur  &#160; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the idea of flexibility and how to achieve it that I found most compelling in Think Again. As I read the book, I couldn&rsquo;t help but reflect on the times I&rsquo;d clung to an opinion past its expiration date or imagine what I might have learned from a debate, had I asked a question instead of hurling a rebuttal.&rdquo;&mdash;Behavioral Scientist
