<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><em>Toward Wisdom</em> examines some of the key impediments to wisdom; what they are, how they work, how they came to be; and introduces us to techniques for getting beyond them.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Toward Wisdom</i> addresses the nature of wisdom, humanity's need for it, and ways and means of developing it. The situation the world faces today is extremely complex. Long-cherished values have begun to conflict with each other: material comfort vs. an uncontaminated world; economic growth now vs. economic well-being for our grandchildren. <br/><br/> <i>Toward Wisdom</i> takes the position that the only way to make the world a better place is to make it a wiser place. Wisdom is no longer an option or a frill. We, and the world, need wisdom-based analyses of our problems followed by wisdom-based action. In the past, becoming wise was left to chance; a few people became wise before they died, but most did not. This lackadaisical approach will no longer do. Wisdom can be developed intentionally, and <i>Toward Wisdom</i> shows us how. The book examines some of the key impediments to wisdom; what they are, how they work, how they came to be; and introduces us to techniques for getting beyond them.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Copthorne Macdonald is a writer, scholar and communications engineer.
