Wisdom: A Very Valuable Virtue That Cannot Be Bought

Description

Can wisdom be understood, developed, and improved? Does wisdom really underlie success, fulfillment, and happiness? What are the characteristics and skills of wise individuals? Can one be happier and more fulfilled by “loving wisdom”? Is a good life necessarily one that involves wisdom?

Philos sophia is Greek for “the love of wisdom,” and is the precursor of modern philosophy and much of applied psychology. Jason Merchey spent years researching, considering, writing, and rewriting a book he thinks can make an impact on individuals and on society as a whole: Wisdom: A Very Valuable Virtue That Cannot Be Bought (2022). As a long-time lover of wisdom, Jason Merchey brings a refreshing array of insightful and interesting quotations (and personal reflections) to this deep and wide investigation into the nature of wisdom.

You can’t buy wisdom just like you can’t buy love. Immensely valuable and desired yet difficult to acquire, the journey to wisdom has few shortcuts. There are, however, few endeavors more fulfilling. While no one can teach you how to be wise, this carefully researched book may help you grow to love the pursuit of it.

Those who are spiritual but non-religious, and politically moderate (or left-of-center) are the ideal readers.
Jason firmly believes that with this affordable book, a dedicated reader will find inspiration, advice, insight, and assistance to make wisdom their greatest strength!
