Wise Up!

"If you think you're happy, you are happy," says Jim Holt while reviewing Stephen Hall's Wisdom: From Philosophy to Neuroscience in The New York Times, but "If you think you're wise, you're probably a fool."

"What is wisdom?" It's the judgment we make about the behavior we admire in others and the excuse we provide for ourselves.

Note: Philosophers no longer touch this subject.
