Wisdom for a Better World is not just another book about wisdom, but one that invites you to live wisely. In this book, the author serves as your companion for wisdom seeking, helping you find your way to a more fulfilling life. Built upon the author's own lifelong journey of wisdom seeking and wisdom keeping, the book inspires readers to explore how to better heal the world's pain; honor our kinship with each other and our planet; bring more compassion into the world; wonder at the mystery that gave us birth; and be inspired to live wisely for the betterment of ourselves and the world. This treasure trove of wisdom, both ancient and contemporary, was gleaned from hundreds of the world's great philosophers, theologians, mystics, storytellers, poets, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and ordinary folks as well.

Autor

Message from the author: From a young age, I have been intensely curious - seeking to understand humans and their place in the universe. When still a youth, I started collecting wisdom quotes, maxims, and proverbs. That continued unabated well into my senior years. A lifelong learner, I explored the realms of philosophy, religion, anthropology, sociology, psychology, ecology, and the mundane tasks of daily living. Most importantly, I assessed the relevance and value of the wisdom I collected by applying them to my own life. Recently, I felt called to harvest the best of my wisdom seeking into a a single volume and present it as a gift to the world through readers like you. I hope what has been formative and beneficial to me in my life journey will be worthwhile for you as well. What if I were to tell you more about myself? Would you read it with different eyes because of my religious upbringing and affiliations? Would you read it differently if you knew I was a born-again prisoner who had lived a life of violent crime, or a saint whose manuscript was published posthumously? a world-renowned religious scholar? Would your perspective change if you knew I was a billionaire? or a pauper who relied on the generosity of others for food, clothing and shelter? if I was a man or woman? I believe it is difficult if not impossible for us to keep from creating preconceptions and biases about a message based on our beliefs about the messenger. After much thought, because I want this book to stand or fail based solely on its content and not the reputation of its author, I decided to publish Wisdom for a Better World anonymously using the pen name, Agape. I bring you these words not in my name, but in the name of love.
