Reviews
"In Consolidated Wisdom, Gene S. Jones considers the evolution of thought and wisdom across the ages of human civilization from biblical times to current day. With an eclectic mix of selections, from sources ranging from King Solomon to Bruce Lee, Jones has gathered often surprising musings, each ""an insight drawn from someone's lifetime of experience,"" to provide insight into taking ownership of one's life with the goal, as he notes in his introduction, of offering ""diverse blueprints for people of all ages, ethnicities and nationalities to pursue maximum success and happiness""... an inspiring exploration of wisdom through quotations and meditative practices. -Publishers Weekly What sets this book apart from others is the author's clear goal for readers to make complex connections and learn something from it all. Each chapter contains recommendations for other chapters, and the ""Wisdom Meditations"" offer a novel way of thinking deeply on various questions. The emphasis is not on simply reading the quotes for fun, but on using them in practical ways. As the author concludes, ""wisdom's true value becomes realized when we put it into action."" Overall, this is certainly not just a random assortment of quotes, since it allows for contemplation in a carefully curated way...a well-thought-out compilation that offers many intriguing insights. -Kirkus Reviews Consolidated Wisdom gathers insights and advice from ancient to modern times, serving as a source of inspiration for those who struggle with modern challenges. The delight of this presentation lies not only in the diversity of quotes that Gene S. Jones cultivates, but in the book's arrangement, which injects these quotes into chapters with diversely appealing subjects...highly recommended for historical, inspirational, and psychological values and enlightenment. -Diane Donovan, Senior Editor Midwest Book Review"
