The famous American psychologist William James wrote:

"The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.”

I discuss this quote at length in this episode, where James warns us that if we can't properly filter the noise in our lives, we will get overwhelmed. At the same time, we must be careful not to read his quote the wrong way. Find out in this episode how to avoid this misinterpretation.
