Holiday argues that wisdom cannot be delegated or acquired through technology or gurus. It demands personal effort and experience. The book provides methods to gain wisdom, accessible to anyone willing to put in the work.
Drawing from historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Holiday contrasts their practical wisdom with the impulsive immaturity of today's so-called geniuses. He follows the path of figures like Montaigne and Emerson, who emphasized the effort required to gain wisdom.
Holiday highlights discernment as the key skill for every problem, decision, and action in life and business. He traces this skill back to the Stoic philosophers who guided Marcus Aurelius, notably Epictetus. The broader Stoic tradition, founded by Zeno of Citium, and intellectual contributions from Chrysippus of Soloi emphasized the role of reason in judging impulses and making decisions.
