From the field's pioneer, an exploration of the neurobiology and psychology of wisdom: what science says it is and how to nurture it within yourself, at any stage of your life What exactly does it mean to be "wise?" And is it possible to grow—and even accelerate—its unfolding? The modern epidemics of suicides, opioid abuse, loneliness, and internet addiction are damaging people’s health and destroying the social fabric. This book shows how you can take control of your life by increasing your wisdom. For over two decades, Dilip Jeste, MD, has led the search for the biological and cognitive roots of wisdom. What's emerged from his work is that wisdom is a very real and deeply multi-layered set of traits. Across many cultures and centuries, he's found that wise people are: Compassionate and empathetic; aware of their gifts and blind spots; open-minded; resolute and calm amid uncertainty; altruistic decision-makers who learn from their experiences; able to see from many perspectives and "altitudes"; and often blessed with a sense of adventure and humor. If you seek to be a wiser person—with your family, at work, and in your community—here's the place to start, with the researcher who's launched and advanced this exciting new path to our highest human potential.

It is quite rare to encounter an "authentic" Christian--living in obedience to Jesus' Word. This spiritual guide focuses on the practice of what Jesus taught in easy, non-religious terms. It explores how we may apply Jesus' principles to our everyday lives. He stated in John. 7:16, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me." This true life adventure includes a legacy of spiritual wisdom discovered in an abandoned cottage on the edge of Exmoor Forest. Some beautiful sketches of a Yellow-Necked mouse added to the intrigue of wondering why the scribe signed his work as "Wiser-Mouse". Now, rescued from the ruin of dampness and decay--his messages are woven into the Legacy as, "The Lost Notebooks of Wiser-Mouse". Spiritually mature Christians need to challenge the widespread, insidious teaching and practice of unsound doctrine. 1 Cor.2:15. Do we blindly follow the traditions of man and his churches? Or, do we obey the commands of God in the Holy Bible? They are distinctly different. "But in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Matt. 15:9. the Holy Bible is the final arbiter on all matters of Christian doctrine. It is utterly irrelevant as to WHO is right--authenticity is focused only on WHAT is right! the Wiser-Mouse Legacy is for those who seek to live the immutable doctrine of truth as taught by our Lord Jesus Christ.

From a renowned financial journalist comes a fresh, “engaging” (The New York Times), and profound book that draws on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews with many of the world’s super-investors to demonstrate that key insights for building wealth apply to life as well. Billionaire investors. If we think of them, it’s with a mixture of awe and suspicion. Clearly, they possess a kind of genius—the proverbial Midas Touch. But are the skills they possess transferable? And do they have anything to teach us besides making money? In Richer, Wiser, Happier, William Green draws on interviews that he’s conducted over twenty-five years with many of the world’s greatest investors. As he discovered, their talents extend well beyond the financial realm. The most successful investors are mavericks and iconoclasts who question conventional wisdom and profit vastly from their ability to think more rationally, rigorously, and objectively. They are master game players who consciously maximize their odds of long-term success in markets and life, while also minimizing any risk of catastrophe. They draw powerful insights from many different fields, are remarkably intuitive about trends, practice fanatical discipline, and have developed a high tolerance for pain. As Green explains, the best investors can teach us not only how to become rich, but how to improve the way we think, reach decisions, assess risk, avoid costly errors, build resilience, and turn uncertainty to our advantage. Green ushers us into the lives of more than forty super-investors, visiting them in their offices, homes, and even their places of worship—all to share what they have to teach. From Sir John Templeton to Charlie Munger, Jack Bogle to Ed Thorp, Will Danoff to Mohnish Pabrai, Bill Miller to Laura Geritz, Joel Greenblatt to Howard Marks. In explaining how they think and why they win, this “unexpectedly illuminating” (Peter Diamandis) book provides “many nuggets of wisdom” (The Washington Post) that will enrich you both financially and personally.
