What Wise People Do
Publication date TBA
No book can "make" you wise – wisdom comes through living your life. But wisdom has always been conveyed through stories – myths, fables and the inspiring and cautionary tales passed down through families ("Don't go down the path of Foolish Uncle Joe!") People do learn from each other. We are moved and inspired by each other's stories. This book reveals the wisdom strategies you can use to respond with wisdom to any adversity that comes your way.
