According to Merriam-Webster, the word wisdom can be defined as the natural ability to understand things that most people cannot understand. It is a knowledge of what is proper or reasonable. In the book Wisdom by Arun Mago, the author shares a great deal of wisdom with us. The book kicks off with Arun Mago explaining to us who our best teachers are. He gave a list that included parents, friends, school teachers and even nature. Throughout the book, the author gives advice and shares his insights on a series of different topics. Arun Mago sheds light on many things that we do but never really pay attention to. Do you seek to be a wiser person? Do you want to unleash yourself? This book is the right choice.

The writing style of this book is simple and easy to understand. The author relates each piece of wisdom in a way that anyone can understand. What I liked most about this book are the original mnemonics that the author use to help us remember each topic. One that stood out to me was the mnemonic for the word wife: wonderful instrument for enjoyment. The author then goes on to ask why we refer to our spouses as our better half. It's a term that has been used so often but never given much thought.

There was nothing negative about this book. The author gives his thoughts on each topic, giving the reader the choice to agree or disagree. One topic that made me really think was when he pointed out that we all live in boxes. The house we live in, our office cubicle, the car we drive are all boxes. He uses this scenario to explain that we live an unhealthy and busy lifestyle, and we don't get to connect with nature.

Wisdom seemed to be professionally edited and I will proudly award it with 4 out of 4 stars. It is truly an eye-opener. One such eye-opening topic was that cellphones had enslaved us. The author shares a story of a funeral for a baby. While the service was going on, people were busy checking messages and doing other things on their cellphones. This shows us how inhumane and insensitive cell phones have caused us to become.

I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to be a better person. I think this book can be a self-help book. It has truly changed my perspective on a lot of topics. Persons who have stopped following their dreams would benefit from reading this book. The author gives the perfect advice on how to get back on track.
