{"product_id":"wisdom-takes-work-paperback","title":"Wisdom Takes Work (Paperback)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWisdom is central to a meaningful life. It gives us\nperspective, reveals knowledge and guides our path. Without it, our best\nqualities become our worst: courage turns to foolhardiness, self-discipline to\ncruelty, justice to empty moralising. We all aspire to be wise - but wisdom is\nearned.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn this fourth and final instalment of his bestselling Stoic Virtues series,\nRyan Holiday uncovers tried and true methods for cultivating wisdom. Drawing on\nlessons from heroes across history, including Marcus Aurelius, Abraham Lincoln,\nMaya Angelou and Joan Didion, he shows how to keep an open mind in times of\ndivision and disruption; to listen more than we talk; to think with nuance and\nruthlessly question our own beliefs. Through cautionary figures like Elon Musk,\nhe shows how dangerous intelligence can be without wisdom - and how we can all\nescape today's traps of tribalism, certainty and self-righteousness.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAre you open to listening? Are you willing to question? Are you here to\nlearn? Wisdom is work. But it's worth it.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRyan Holiday\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the world's bestselling living\nphilosophers.
