Does a good job of explaining what practical wisdom is and examples of it but I am not sure how useful it is in helping teach how to apply practical wisdom in our daily lives ( ) Interesting premise of good decision making -- informed by experience and knowledge, but seemed like such a no-brainer. Isn't that how we all make decisions? Avoiding arbitrariness and also relying on common sense rather than a prescribed set of rules is the best way to proceed. "Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." (Emerson) I enjoyed this book. It talks of how to foster practical wisdom in your daily life. Mostly inspired by Aristotle's works, this book is also pretty entertaining. It tells little stories of people that make wisdom work in their workplaces. I idea of making your work about a calling rather than a job also resonated with me. I would most certainly read this again. A thematic dissection of what is wrong with the institutions of today. Interesting, but somewhat vacuous. Nicomachean Ethics is a somewhat more comprehensive guide to living a good life. What this book does is set it in the modern context and elaborate on how modern institutions divorced people from meaning in life. I find it a little strange to isolate out practical wisdom as a topic, without elaborating much on arete and eudaimonia. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Identifies a loss of common-sense wisdom that has coincided with a collapsing economy, failing schools, and other setbacks, and offers recommendations to identify and cultivate wisdom by combining experience with empathy and intellect. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
