Critics Review

Frank Tallis is one of the most insightful psychologists of our time. In Wise, he explores life's most urgent questions - our purpose and mortality - with clarity and humility. What emerges is a deeply profound book, where psychology, philosophy, and lived experience come together to show us how to live... Wise is for anyone, young or old, in search of happiness
Jack Symes
This is a rich and beautiful book. Using a range of perspectives and vignettes, Frank Tallis shows, rather than tells, us about the diverse ways that we might attain wisdom; wisdom that we need to sustain us as we move into the autumn of our years
Gwen Adshead, author of The Devil You Know
Transformative . . . gripping . . . sincerely recommended
