About this listen
“Why People Think I Am a Fool” is not a book of confessions, nor an apology, nor a plea for sympathy. It is a reckoning — with God, with the state, with love, with money, with health, with the very illusions that bind a human life.
Boris Kriger writes in a voice that is at once defiant and vulnerable, philosophical and intimate. He does not hide from contradiction; he exposes it. To be called a fool, he argues, is not a disgrace but a condition of honesty. A fool is one who keeps searching, who refuses to freeze his thought into dogma, who dares to say what others dismiss.
This book ranges widely: from the Dunning–Kruger effect to quarrels with God, from the false security of houses and savings to the unquenchable urge to do good, from the collapse of love’s illusions to the stubborn joy of writing itself. Along the way it reveals a simple truth: the world may indeed be unjust, pretentious, and deeply imperfect — yet it is precisely in this imperfection that meaning is forged.
Provocative, unsparing, and unexpectedly tender, Why People Think I Am a Fool is a manifesto of freedom for anyone who has ever been dismissed, misunderstood, or mocked — and who suspects, deep down, that such folly may be the beginning of wisdom.
