Summary
In this fascinating journey from philosophy to science, Stephen Hall gives us a dramatic history of wisdom, from its sudden emergence in the fifth century BC to its modern manifestations in education, politics and the workplace. We learn how wisdom became the provenance of philosophy and religion; how it is a catalyst for social change; and how psychologists and neuroscientists have begun to shed light on the cognitive traits long associated with wisdom, to see how we might cultivate it
