Title
The Cambridge handbook of wisdom
Abstract
This rich collection reveals synergies across multiple perspectives towards a vision of wisdom today's world very much needs. This is a comprehensive review of the psychological literature on wisdom by leading experts in the field. It covers the philosophical and sociocultural foundations of wisdom and showcases the measurement and teaching of wisdom. The book explains the connection of wisdom to intelligence and personality alongside its relationship with morality and ethics. It also explores the neurobiology of wisdom, its significance in medical decision-making, and wise leadership. The book discusses how to develop wisdom and gives practical information about how to instill it in others. It is accessible to a wide readership and includes virtually all of the major theories of wisdom, as well as the full range of research on wisdom as it is understood today. It takes both a basic-science and applied focus, making it useful to those seeking to understand wisdom scientifically and to those who wish to apply their understanding of wisdom to their own work. The book might provoke new ideas and spark new research both in academia and in real-life applied contexts. And perhaps, sooner or later, this volume and others like it will inspire people, especially policy-makers, to act more wisely. Maybe, the editors and authors can contribute a few small steps to the transitions that humanity needs to make if it wants to survive. This handbook is written not only for students of wisdom and researchers in the field but also for anyone who seriously wants to understand wisdom and how it has the potential to change the world. The authors hope that, after reading this volume, one will want to contribute to those changes that make the world a better and more humane place.
