Instantly the angry young man who was ready to rip me out of the car changed facial expression to almost a smile, and said, "No problem. Have a good day!" My friend Dave turned to me, looking shocked and relieved exclaiming, "How on earth did you get out of that?? That was amazing!"Learning and practicing to keep calm under pressure has kept me from taking unwise actions or making rash decisions. Little did I know that practicing such peaceful responses would also help provide a platform for developing wisdom.What Readers are Saying about "Wisdom Brings Success":"Dr. Brendan has written one of the best books on wisdom that I have ever read.
