Critic reviews

Wisdom at Work beautifully illustrates the opportunity that each of us has to embark on an encore career. Bravo to Chip Conley for writing this timely and inspiring book. Having begun my third chapter at the age of 60, I can attest that this is the most productive and rewarding time of my life. Applying one's knowledge and passion in the service of missions larger than ourselves is the greatest gift of being a Perennial (Sherry Lansing)
Being smart comes from studying or understanding complex things, yet wisdom is something deeper. We don't become wise simply because we get old; wisdom is something we must actively cultivate in order to accumulate. Every one of us should learn what it takes to gain wisdom, and Chip Conley is wise to give us the guide for our journey (Simon Sinek)

Embodied Wisdom for a world in turmoil

The more I listen to Chip, the more I am opening to the depth of his compassion and humanity. He is not only creating a movement and a place of belonging, he also crafts and shapes the new language we need to name and describe the shift accurately. I applaud his effort. An important book for the world at large.

A very relevant book for someone about start the second part of their lives

I first listened to Chip’s interview at the Tim Ferris show and was captivated by his ideas about being a modern elder.

For someone like me taking time for reflection before the second half starts this book is inspirational.
