A Collection of Wisdom

A Collection of Wisdom is the book that the entire world has been writing for thousands and thousands of years through its thoughts, observations, insights, experiences, teachings, lessons, and writings. And it is the result of my personal quest to experience this wisdom, and to unleash it in one book?and give you the best of the best of the best of the best. This book captures the essence of an amazing abundance and variety of the universe?s accumulated wisdom?and even more importantly?puts it in an incredibly clear, efficient, and dynamic format. It is my aim to give you treasured teachings from all corners?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 coaching methods of Phil Jackson: and from the best of Hillary Clinton to the best of Zen Buddhism?there is almost no stone this book leaves unturned. And instead of just throwing page after page of uninteresting and obscure texts at you, this book has done just the opposite. Material has been organized, books have been summarized, simple explanations have been made, passages from foreign translations have been clarified to reflect modern eng, the obscure has been made clear, irrelevant and redundant information has been taken out, and everything has been made to ensure that it will be totally vibrant and captivating.
