Jeste-Thomas Wisdom Index

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.
