The Wisdom Pyramid

Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World

De: Brett McCracken

Narrado por: Brett McCracken

We're facing an information overload.

With the quick tap of a finger we can access an endless stream of addictive information — sports scores, breaking news, political opinions, streaming TV, the latest Instagram posts, and much more. Accessing information has never been easier — but acquiring wisdom is increasingly difficult.

In an effort to help us consume a more balanced, healthy diet of information, Brett McCracken has created the “Wisdom Pyramid.” Inspired by the food pyramid model, the Wisdom Pyramid challenges us to increase our intake of enduring, trustworthy sources (like the Bible) while moderating our consumption of less reliable sources (like the Internet and social media). At a time when so much of our daily media diet is toxic and making us spiritually sick, The Wisdom Pyramid suggests that we become healthy and wise when we reorient our lives around God — the foundation of truth and the eternal source of wisdom.
