Sharpen your wisdom!
Wisdom is the key to success and the cornerstone of a happy life!

This book is a practical and profound guide containing the 'wisdom for winning in life' conveyed by Baltasar Gracian, a Spanish Jesuit priest and philosopher.
Through his long observations and experience, Gracian sought to convey insights that could be applied directly in real life, rather than empty advice based solely on ideals or principles.
The key point he emphasizes above all else is ‘practical wisdom.’
This is because I believed that cool-headed and sophisticated strategies, rather than classical morals or didactic rhetoric, were the weapons necessary to survive in a complex and fierce reality.

While many life guides stop at the platitudes of "live authentically" and "hold the truth," this book goes a step further.
It contains wisdom that can be immediately applied in specific situations in life, such as the subtle conflicts in human relationships, wise conduct within a hierarchy, and how to protect and overcome oneself in uncertain situations.
In particular, all 243 pieces of advice in the book are organized into concise and beautiful aphorisms, making each item an independent life guide and strategy.
This allows readers to pull out each sentence as needed and use it to navigate life's complex moments.

This revised edition refines the sentences of the original translation, significantly improving readability, and faithfully reflects the context and nuances of the original text, aiming to convey more refined and robust wisdom.
Additionally, a note-taking corner is provided at the back of the book, allowing readers to write down sentences or advice that impressed them and reflect on them.
This course will go beyond simple reading and will greatly help me deeply embed Gracian's practical wisdom into my life.

"The Art of Wisdom" offers practical yet dignified guidance on life for those who want to stay ahead of the curve in this chaotic world.
For readers seeking to remain grounded and steadfast in today's rapidly changing society and economy, Gracian's 243 pieces of advice will serve as an intellectual weapon and a solid compass for life.
