Human beings have celebrated wisdom for thousands of years through mythology, scripture, fables, parables, history, dialogue, and more. This doesn’t mean that everything contained in these forms is wise. Far from it. But it does mean that each culture has gems of wisdom embedded throughout. These gems of wisdom make up the wisdom traditions. The Book of Wisdom contains the best of the wisdom traditions — Buddhism, Stoicism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christianity, and more.
