A Collection of Wisdom contains over 600 pages of the world's greatest wisdom and teachings from people, quotes, classical
texts, philosophies, cultures, folktales, and proverbs.
The book captures the essence of an amazing abundance and variety of the universe's wisdom, and puts it in an unparalleled
level of clarity, efficiency, and accessibility.
From the teachings of Confucius to the proverbs of Africa; from Cyrus the Great's Human Rights Charter to Sun Tzu's
The Art of War; from the Mulla Nasrudin Tales to the Lakota Native American cultural teachings; from The Prince
by Niccolo Machiavelli to lessons based on the life of Oprah Winfrey; from the business methods of Andrew Carnegie to the
philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche; and from the best of La Rochefoucauld to the best of Zen Buddhism--there is almost no stone
A Collection of Wisdom leaves unturned in its 608 pages and 72 chapters.
A Collection of Wisdom masterfully organizes material, summarizes books, makes simple explanations, uses clear modern
English translations of foreign material, makes the obscure clear, and takes out irrelevant and redundant information.
The result is a book that is more useful than a stack of typical self-help books, more interesting than a collection of conventional
philosophy books, and more captivating and informative than a pile of quote and proverb books.
A Collection of Wisdom is sure to be the centerpiece in anyone's personal bookshelf.
