Increase Your Wisdom

I’m Bryan Frances. I started out studying theoretical physics. After I got my Master’s degree, I switched to philosophy & logic. I earned my PhD in philosophy and then became a professor, with professorships at universities in the US, UK, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. I published books with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and other international presses. I also published several dozen research articles in professional journals.

I retired from academia. I gave away or sold 99% of my possessions and gave away a lot of my money. Two reasons: in ethics, consequences reign supreme; for me, material things are nice but not necessary.

Now I use my work in philosophy, logic, cognitive science, and physics to coach people to become the wisest thinker in the room, almost regardless of the room. Not the person with the highest IQ, most knowledge, most serenity, or best moral behavior. I can’t get you those. But I can make you a wildly more wise thinker, in both your professional and personal lives.
