Starting from the foundation that “Wisdom is applied experience,” this book gathers and fuses experiences from peoples of dozens of countries and professions and walks of life throughout recorded history. Then, practical real-life exercises in each chapter give the reader guided opportunities to broaden their perspective on life and become wiser in their own right.

Recent graduates who have yet to experience much of the world may stand to gain the most from “Why and How to Be Wise,” but it is the rare person who will already know all that this book has to offer. Approach with an open yet discerning mind – after all, what other approach would we deem wise?
