About this listen
Think of the countless popular books that claim to offer sage financial or psychological advice distilled in a simple easy-to-remember catchphrase or a colorful anecdote.
The author of this book, however, argues that much of this advice is little more than "fancy bullshit." The book goes through these popular books one by one, examining their claims and the resources that back them up. Ultimately, the author argues that much of this so-called wisdom should be abandoned in favor of humility and common sense.
The End of Wisdom exposes the many ways in which people are misled by faulty financial advice, psychological theories, and simplistic career or life advice. It offers a much-needed dose of epistemological humility, helping readers to understand the limits of what we can know.
