We are poised at a crossroads between a past that is outgrown and a
future we must choose. This book examines the multiple ways that
wisdom, grounded in life experience, science and theoretical
knowledge, can contribute to positive and sustainable local and
global futures. The authors in this book have brought their
thinking to various aspects of this existential challenge using the
lenses of Wisdom and Wise Practice, in an effort to explore ideas
by which society might make choices in planning and acting for a
wiser future. Wisdom practices have developed over millennia to
assist people in approaching and managing life experiences and
difficulties. While such practices were originally considered the
purview of academic and religious scholars; at this important time
in history, it must become everyone's responsibility to wisely look
ahead if we are to achieve a sustainable future for society. The
authors of this book comprise international future-oriented
leaders, scholars, practitioners, community members and
commentators with a commitment to social justice, human service and
development. The book explores the place of wisdom and wise living
practices alongside other ways of knowing and acting, for shaping
positive futures for people and the world we inhabit. The chapters
examine major challenges across political, physical and social life
worlds, aiming to promote a quantum shift in discourse and decision
making to address current and future challenges. The four parts of
the book follow forward thinking ideas of wise professional
practice: * Facing future challenges, * Exploring practice
pathways, * Examining options and * Future possibilities.
