Wise people needn't be full of doubt. The Abrahamic traditions do these days lead to an abundance of doubt, but you can find wisdom without doubt.
I draw wisdom from Shakti and the Rishis. I'll admit they are a bit abstruse for most Westerners. Consequently, I recommend a dose of Confucius (Great Learning) and Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching). They are more easily absorbed. That should be enough to get you through.

The more certain you are about your reality, the less willing and able you are to consider other perspectives. The less certain you are, the more you listen and the more you say "I don't know."
Action through certainty and inaction through uncertainty.

The influence of fools and fanatics in this world is limited relative to governments and corporations.

Of course the wise is full of doubt. Just because something works one day doesn't mean it'll work the next.
