Psychology; Assertiveness, motivation & self-esteem

A reasoned and urgent call to embrace and protect the essential

human quality that has been drummed out of our lives- wisdom. In their provocative new book, Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Sharpe

explore the insights essential to leading satisfying lives. 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.
