I am interested in which books have given people wisdom. Knowledge, or a collection of facts is different than wisdom, and isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for books that contain Solomon like wisdom. However, I do NOT want religious texts as that usually becomes dogma. Here are a few examples:
1. The Worldly Art of Wisdom, by Baltasar Gracian 2. The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, by Marcus Arelius (of course) 3. Book of Five Rings, by Miyamoto Musashi If you have any really good ones, please add to the list. |

Collections of the Rambler, Adventurer, and Idler by Samuel Johnson Seneca The Younger's essays: De Constantia Sapientes, De Tranquillitate Animi, De Providentia, De Vita Beata Plutarch's Moralia Xenophon's Education of Cyrus Montaigne, Essays Any of the above are enjoyable and readable over and over. |
