Becoming Wise

Lesley Corbin

Description

“One of the greatest gifts we can give to another generation is our experience, our wisdom.” — Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner

Wisdom experts say there are few wise people today when our world needs wisdom more than ever before. Is it perhaps because we do not know how to become wise?

This book takes you on a psychological exploration of wisdom. Dr. Corbin engages you with captivating stories and, even though you may think you know some of the main characters in each of the stories, she invites you to see their lives from a perspective that might surprise you. You journey with the author through a rich blend of narrative and references to expert research to illuminate the complex and multifaceted concept that is wisdom. She takes you on a tour through the thought processes of the wise, their emotional inner workings, and their moral advantage, and shows the means by which one might set out along such a path.

This book has been designed to challenge you and stimulate your thinking. Dr. Corbin invites you to consider whether there might be a place for wisdom in your life and, if so, how you might engage with it.
