Review title: This book displays a complete lack of wisdom
Product review: Apart from learning from personal experiences, wisdom is found in learning from the collective experiences and mistakes of mankind. This means reading history and biography. A basic science literacy is also necessary - certainly one can find important lessons from cosmology and evolution. Only after history, biography and science does literature come into the picture, and even then to confine oneself to the literature of the West, as Bloom does, is shockingly short-sighted in both senses of the term. Judging by Bloom's works, one feels that he doesn't even realize such countries as China, Japan, and Iran even exist.
