The surest path to a more comfortable, more beneficial life and future. The majority of us want to achieve success. And the majority of us want to do the right thing. But we often neglect that the best way to succeed is by doing the right thing, as Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Sharpe remind us in Practical Intelligence: The Right Way to Do the proper Thing. When the corporations that condition our culture need to change, individuals in them typically either make more guidelines or offer smarter incentives. But there exists a much better way, and in this exciting and provocative reserve, Schwartz and Sharpe explore the fundamental process of problem solving that can convert our lives: sensible wisdom. A concept that Aristotle recognized millennia ago which new methodical research reveals is as vital today as it was in traditional Greece, practical wisdom is the fundamental real human quality that combines the fruits of our own individual experiences with our empathy and intellect. It's how we learn to be a buddy or parent or doctor or soldier or resident or statesman. It's how we come to understand, as the authors write, "the proper way to do the right part of a particular situation, with a particular person, at a specific time." In Practical Intelligence, Schwartz and Sharpe make clear the value of wisdom in our daily lives and make clear how to battle work situations that squeeze it out of our own practices. They bring in us to what they call the "canny outlaws", people with the wisdom to work throughout the calcified conventions of business as standard to accomplish inspiring and gratifying results in lifestyle. And they identify System Changers, folks who are building new, more worthwhile, and ultimately more effective ways to work. The result is a reserve that helps us recognize that wisdom is most importantly a sensible idea.
