Wise

Frank Tallis is one of the most insightful psychologists of our time. In Wise, he explores life’s most urgent questions - our purpose and mortality - with clarity and humility. What emerges is a deeply profound book, where psychology, philosophy, and lived experience come together to show us how to live… Wise is for anyone, young or old, in search of happiness * Jack Symes *This is a rich and beautiful book. Using a range of perspectives and vignettes, Frank Tallis shows, rather than tells, us about the diverse ways that we might attain wisdom; wisdom that we need to sustain us as we move into the autumn of our years * Gwen Adshead, author of The Devil You Know *Transformative… gripping… sincerely recommended * Guardian *Wide ranging and well organised… a prompt from the outside world to access the resources we already have yet don’t quite appreciate for the journey that lies ahead * The Times *
