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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The four parts of the book follow forward thinking ideas of wise professional practice: \u003cbr\u003e - Facing future challenges, \u003cbr\u003e - Exploring practice pathways, \u003cbr\u003e - Examining options and\u003cbr\u003e - Future possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoy Higgs\u003c\/b\u003e Ph.D., Emeritus Professor, \u003cb\u003eJanice Orrell\u003c\/b\u003e Ph.D., Emeritus Professor, \u003cb\u003eDiane Tasker\u003c\/b\u003e Ph.D., and \u003cb\u003eNarelle Patton\u003c\/b\u003e Ph.D., Associate Professor, have researched and published widely in the fields of Education for Practice and Wisdom of Experience\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 424\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.13 x 6.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48711314145529,"sku":"9789004505520","price":100.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/sGHlftfK669789004505520.webp?v=1784981616","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/shaping-wise-futures-a-shared-responsibility-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
