Art of Worldly Wisdom

Common Sense

Under the surface of our prejudice, our culturally-influenced opinions, confused conclusions, and false beliefs; we have a wise voice of reason, an intuitive clarity, an accurate psychological awareness. Without listening to this—even with impressive qualities, intelligence, and skills—our decisions undermine our goals. Nothing else lacking in our character has so many unfortunate consequences. With an egoless attention to this inner voice of reason, all the activities of our lives become more satisfying, more truthful, and more successful.
