Review

"This handbook provides a valuable compendium of the current state of knowledge about wisdom. It is a worthwhile read, and the conscientious reader will be more knowledgeable if not wiser." -David D. Simpson, PsycCritiques

"Wisdom appears to have much to do with outstanding futures-thinking, and thus in a very broad sense can be seen as a method to be cultivated." -Future Survey

Book Description

A Handbook of Wisdom is a collection of chapters from some of the most prominent scholars in the field of wisdom research. It gives an in-depth understanding of philosophical, psychological, and religious theories of wisdom and provides the most current synthesis of the research that has been done to define what wisdom is and how it exists in different cultures and peoples. It gives readers interested in past, current, and future inquiry on wisdom an experience that is representative of the diversity of viewpoints that exist in literature and science.
