The bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals examines the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence at work and wisdom in life

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.

Kan een stad in je DNA zitten, ook al heeft je wieg er niet gestaan?

In Moederstad gaat Philip Dröge in het moderne Jakarta op zoek naar sporen van het oude Batavia. Meer dan drie eeuwen lang woonden zijn voorouders in de stad, zo heeft hij ooit van zijn Indische grootvader gehoord. Wie waren ze? In wat voor stad leefden ze? Hoe is Aziatisch DNA in zijn genoom terechtgekomen?

Aan de hand van zijn eigen familiegeschiedenis laat Dröge haarfijn zien hoe dit epicentrum van de kolonie functi...
