The Global Library of Wisdom. Best practices for a better world.

In the early part of the 21st century we find ourselves drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The Global Library of Wisdom (GLoW) is a curated collection of wisdom about what is durable as a societal process (positive wisdom) and what is not (negative wisdom).

What is wisdom in this context? Author Tom Atlee describes such wisdom as:
"Wisdom is applied appreciation of the wholeness of life. Someone or something is wise to the extent he, she or it arises from and embraces life's wholeness. Through wisdom we become vehicles or channels for wholeness on behalf of life."

Wisdom can be summarized as:

It embraces the BIG PICTURE
It uses MULTIPLE WAYS OF KNOWING
It is INCLUSIVE AND OPEN
It is INSIGHTFUL AND APPROPRIATE
It is HUMBLE AND RECEPTIVE
It SERVES LIFE
It is GROUNDED IN RELATIONSHIP
It has an ELEGANT SIMPLICITY
It has INTEGRITY
It has PRESENCE
