Personal Wisdom: Making Sense of You, Others and the Meaning of Life Updated Edition, Advanced Life Skills - Paperback

by Robert Brown (Author)

Life is a mystery. None of us did anything to make it happen. Without warning, we slip into life one day, make our way through it, and eventually stop living, sometimes while we're still alive.

You have a burden unique to humans. The burden is you must figure out what is important. How well you choose determines the value of your life. Personal Wisdom will give you the understanding and the tools to create a life unique to you.

Personal Wisdom will help you find true knowledge about yourself and what is important for your life. You will live your life from this new knowledge, rather than the haphazard accumulation of opinions, guesses and assumptions that have guided your existence until now. If you want a life full of meaning, happiness, intimacy, fulfillment, compassion, joy and doing things of lasting value, you have come to the right place.

No one can teach you how to live your best, that must come from your experience, but Personal Wisdom, in as practical a way as possible, will help you make better sense of you and your world.

1. Personal wisdom is gaining the knowledge to live your unique life.
2. Your unique life will always be evolving.
3. You can never be sure you're living your best life.
4. No one else knows what's best for you.
5. Just about everyone is ready with an opinion.

Author Robert Brown has been working on these ideas for almost sixty years. In graduate school fifty years ago, he learned from Viktor Frankl, Abraham Maslow and other giants in humanistic psychology. These lesson, his experience and insights led to Personal Wisdom.
