A reasoned and urgent call to embrace and protect the essential human quality that has been drummed out of our lives: wisdom.

Encouraging individuals to focus on their own personal intelligence and integrity rather than simply navigating the rules and incentives established by others, Practical Wisdom outlines how to identify and cultivate our own innate wisdom in our daily lives.
