For Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), wisdom is a direct effect from philosophy. He regarded wisdom as practical ethics, that is, as a set of principles that enables humans to make correct decisions in any situation. Wisdom is not necessarily sophisticated, but it must rest on a sound philosophical footing.
This book presents Schopenhauer's life and ideas, from key principles to wisdom and practical applications. It emphasizes Schopenhauer's advice on happiness, success, personal effectiveness and stress reduction, showing how today's readers can benefit from Schopenhauer's insights.
