This Is Your Brain With Dr. Phil Stieg Why Wisdom is Necessary
Although memories fade, hearing declines and our bodies suffer aches and pains, there is one benefit to aging that we can actually gain with each passing year.
It's called wisdom.
But just because someone is older, it doesn't mean they are wiser. It takes a certain type of person to learn important lessons from their life experiences.
Dr. Dillip Jeste reveals what he has discovered after studying wisdom for decades, including the neuroscience of the wise brain, emphasizing how cultivating wisdom enhances brain health as well as offering some insights on how to develop and nurture wisdom in yourself, at any age.
In a larger view, Dr. Jeste discusses the importance of wisdom for the health of our society.
