Life today has taken on a more fragile tone due to severe economic upheaval and the real threat of chronic unemployment. The future seems unpredictable, and the present carries a sense of uncertainty. There is an urgent need for wisdom. Wisdom is quite different from intelligence, because it requires making sound judgments with limited information. People seek wisdom as they navigate through life, making decisions involving their career, family and friends. Wisdom allows people to filter knowledge and experiences, enabling them to be creative problem-solvers. A better understanding of wisdom will help individuals live more satisfying lives.
