Before readingWhy I picked it up
Seeking Wisdom has all the things I'm crazing, wisdom, mental models, a list of biases and lessons from great thinkers. I can see this being a book I go back to multiple times over my life.
After readingPosted
Wise lessons from many of histories greatest thinkers. Great for lovers of learning and multidisciplinary exploration. Thinking is a skill and Beveling goes on a quest to weave together learnings about attaining wisdom. The book is separating into four parts, Part One is about what influences our thinking, Part two is about the psychology of misjudgments, Part three is about the Psychics and Mathematics of misjudgment and Part four provides guidelines for better thinking. The book lacks a strong central guiding message, and the ideas are all over the place. At times it felt like I was reading a reference book, which made it difficult to read at times.
Three reasons to read it
- A Guide to Identify Behavioral Biases
- Improve your thinking
- Great collection of lessons from great thinkers like Charlie Munger, Warren Buffer, Ben Franklin, Newton and more
Notes for this book are still being transcribed.
