A Handbook to Practical Wisdom - A Study Guide by Lynn C. Bauman
This handbook is a thirty-lesson course on practical wisdom and the common foundation which builds a discerning and sapiential life. We humans are called "homo sapiens" because wisdom or sapience is the basis for all our learning. In this text each lesson is built upon a short introductory statement and brief explanatory paragraph. These seek to clarify a particular principle of practical wisdom. In each lesson this opening material is followed by a commentary on the principle being introduced, questions for reflection, further brief readings for understanding, daily exercises and prayers. The handbook is designed particularly for individuals in a support group moving through each lesson as a shared experience. It is suitable for either men's, women's or mixed groups led by a mentor. It can, however, be beneficial for personal and individual use alone.
