Getting a Life is rooted in the idea that some steps toward wisdom require nothing more than a fresh look at common life situations, nothing more than an appreciation of the difference between skillful and unskillful ways of dealing with those situations. Its premise is that a few truths about everyday life, if pointed out and taken seriously, can make a significant difference in the quality of day-to-day living and our enjoyment of life.Getting a Life is about applied, practical wisdom - the kind of wisdom that Coleridge called \"Common sense in an uncommon degree.\" To Copthorne Macdonald, wisdom comprises a mix of extraordinary attitudes, value-based ways of being, and ways of seeing. He takes the position that growing wiser is not something than must be left to the whims of fate; wisdom can be developed intentionally. Getting a Life reinforces our best intuitions and intentions, leads us to some fresh insights about everyday life, and helps us develop that uncommon degree of common sense that is practical wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943456244000,"sku":"NEW0595202462","price":14.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/getting-a-life-strategies-for-joyful-effective-living-0595202462","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
