Author and marketer Ryan Holiday explores the timeless power of wisdom, offering insights into harnessing our experiences and perspectives to make wise, informed choices.

We would all like to consistently make wise choices and investments, but in a world full of contradictions and complications, it can be difficult to feel wise.

Is it possible to cultivate wisdom, and what are the habits and mindset you need to lead a wise life?

In his 2025 book, Wisdom Takes Work, marketer and author Ryan Holiday explains that becoming wise doesn't happen overnight.

The book explains how wisdom can be learned through experiences, successes, and failures, but it takes a lifetime to achieve.
