Kahneman coined the acronym WYSIATI: 'What You See Is All There Is. ' It describes the brain's tendency to build a coherent story based only on the available information, ignoring what it doesn't know. Wisdom, for Kahneman, is the awareness of this blind spot. It is the humility to ask, 'What am I missing? ' He teaches that confidence is often a measure of the coherence of the story we tell ourselves, not the accuracy of the reality.
