Publisher's summary

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.

Not too deep, but refreshing and helpful!

Appreciated how the content was organized and presented. Provided direction and clarity for how to deal with the "fire hose" of information we get barraged with every day from myriad of sources. the insight that wisdom is also found in nature and beauty really resonated with me as well. great book!

It felt like a Godly Cal Newport

I’ve read every productivity best-seller out there and guess what I found? Becoming your most-productive self doesn’t bring rest to your soul.

This book was a helpful guide on the journey God’s had me on to slow down, seek wisdom above all else, and live a life on His rhythm. Thanks for writing it, Brett!

A lot of wisdom in a small book

This book was exactly what I needed to shake some sense into head and heart. I’ve found myself spending on overwhelmingly amount of time on social media and worrying myself with things that truly do not matter or that I can do nothing about. I highly recommend this book to everyone and especially to those with teens who are starting to navigate the social media world.
