A comment on To Become Wise, Do Less.

Wisdom is such a loaded term. I think the article conflates wisdom with productivity - "To become more productive, do less!" could have equally been an apt title.

On wisdom, I am reminded of the Serenity Prayer- "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_Prayer)

Came here to say the same thing.

Wisdom is linked to a life-long experienced person. No one can be said to be "wise" at 15.

And doing random things expecting to get "wise" is like moving frantically and randomly your limbs & expecting to learn kung fu.... Time has to make things decant.
