Beskrivning
The world is simultaneously facing many crises that humanity is failing to solve. Yet, at the same time, humans are smarter (with IQs on average thirty points higher than a century ago) and more knowledgeable (with the world's knowledge base at our fingertips), and scientific advances are accelerating. However, intelligence and knowledge are not enough: wisdom harnesses these strengths to serve the common good. Education is focused on acquiring knowledge, but schools would do better also to teach and test for the development of wisdom. To a lot of people, wisdom is an abstraction, but there is a growing body of scientific research into what wisdom is and how it works. This introduction sets out why wisdom is so important. Drawing on insights from psychology, philosophy, science, and common sense, this book provides a complete account of wisdom and how we can develop it throughout our lives.

Recensioner i media

'Two world leaders in the science of wisdom have teamed up to write the first broad survey of the field, considering what wisdom means in this growing field, why it matters, how it can be measured, how it develops, and how it can be cultivated in ourselves and in society. Written in an easy and engaging style, this book has something to offer everyone, from those newly interested in wisdom to seasoned researchers exploring this topic for themselves.' Michel Ferrari, Associate Professor of Developmental Psychology and Education, University of Toronto, Canada
