Our Mission
Deepen our scientific understanding of wisdom and its role in the decisions and choices that affect everyday life.
Connect scientists, scholars, educators, and students to initiate wisdom research & disseminate findings to the public
Highlighted Wisdom Interviews
Research & Resources
We want to understand how an individual develops wisdom and the circumstances and situations in which people are most likely to make wise decisions. We hope that, by deepening our scientific understanding of wisdom, we will also begin to understand how to gain, reinforce, and apply wisdom and, in turn, become wiser as a society.
