Wisdom has always been a precious and powerful resource, but what exactly is it, and how can we cultivate and apply it? As a problem-solving tool it has never been more necessary, and as a guide to living well, it is our best friend. To explore its nature and use, its cultivation and benefits, author Miguel Mendonça interviews 25 highly accomplished and insightful artists, activists, writers and teachers from around the world, including Satish Kumar, Elisabet Sahtouris, Frances Moore Lappé, Vandana Shiva, Sulak Sivaraksa, Reuben Langdon, Francesc Miralles and Herbert Girardet. Representing a wide range of fields, including indigenous culture, environment, governance, academia, science and spirituality, media and the arts, the contributors share fascinating, moving and illuminating experiences and perspectives which get us all closer to the heart of wisdom, and how we may all apply it to live wiser, more engaged and rewarding lives.
