A Better Definition of Wisdom
A fresh look at what it means to be wise - beyond the numbers.
Sam challenges and expands upon traditional views of wisdom, to redefine wisdom to be more useful and true.
By examining how wisdom influences our life decisions and embracing a broader definition of wisdom, we invite listeners to reconsider their perceptions of wisdom.
Personal wisdom begins with acknowledging that wisdom is not exclusively born from age or experience but emerges from making wise choices for personal happiness and understanding wisdom through self-acceptance.
