Throughout history, going back as far as 3,000 years, great thinkers have shared their words of wisdom. Today, many more people are involved in producing quotes that inspire and repulse. We hold on to many of these bits of wisdom and we let some of them guide our lives. At the same time there are people who have an audience but produce nothing but nonsense. We may be inspired to know that Albert Einstein had deep convictions about a supreme power. We might also enlightened to know that our some of our founding fathers who created One Nation under God, actually did not have deep convictions about a supreme being, and that they had little use for the church. Then again some quotes are simply quips to ponder or amuse. At the same time it is interesting to note that Michelangelo, Hemingway, and Freud loved cats, or that Tom Brokaw and Tiger Woods love their time fishing. Claude Monet was inspired by his garden, and Thomas Jefferson and Viggo Mortensen cherished their time digging in their gardens. We can learn all kinds of things from and about people if we just take the time to look. That's what Wisdom and Nonsense teaches: the diversity of what they said about subjects they either were expert at, or that surprise us to know they had any interest at all. And then sometimes we just need a boost to our intellectual curiosity or a moment of light entertainment without having to think too much.

I broke all the rules that my dad gave me. It was he who had given me, in part, the confidence to think of my life as being worthy to mix with those of the geniuses. —Heather O’Neill With generosity and wry humour, novelist Heather O’Neill recalls several key lessons she learned in childhood from her father: memories and stories about how crime does pay, why one should never keep a diary, and that it is good to beware of clowns, among other things. Her father and his eccentric friends—ex-bank robbers and homeless men—taught her that everything she did was important, a belief that she has carried through her life. O’Neill’s intimate recollections make Wisdom in Nonsense the perfect companion to her widely praised debut novel, Lullabies for Little Criminals (HarperCollins).

No-Nonsense Practical Wisdom 101 is a compilation of my personal crafted quotations derived from innumerable lived-through experiences, and from life’s way with rendering valuable lessons learned. I regard these meaningful excerpts as breathing principles that confirm wisdom is key to expanding love, perception, and choices. Quotes are containers of wisdom that stimulate inspiration, guide relationships, influence decision-making, and heighten mindfulness. Included in this compilation are life-inspiring quotes by well-known notables, and both quotation sets help sharpen keen awareness and enrich mindful judgment. As you read these quotes, reflect on their significant meanings: simplistic, to-the-point, powerful, practical. Recommended for book club discussions.

This is a book for managers who know that their organisations are stuck in a mindset that thrives on fashionable business theories that are no more than folk wisdom, and whose so-called strategies that are little more than banal wish lists. It puts forward the notion that the application of uncommon sense - thinking or acting differently from other organisations in a way that makes unusual sense - is the secret to competitive success. For those who want to succeed and stand out from the herd this book is a beacon of uncommon sense and a timely antidote to managerial humbug.

Having exhausted (and been exhausted by) the young man's religion of rock and roll, the authors undertake an epic journey to the North Pole to sacrifice an icon of Elvis Presley. Two very different accounts of their journey clash and mesh as the pilgrims venture forth into the frozen wastes at the top of the world. Bill Drummond and Mark Manning were involved with two of pop music's most esoteric creations: Zodiac Mindwarp and the KLF.

THE PERFECT READ FOR TROUBLED TIMES From the bestselling author of The Story of the British Isles in 100 Places comes this inspiring and beautifully written meditation on the wisdom inherited from our ancestors. For all we have gained in the modern world, simple peace of mind is hard to find. In a time that is increasingly fraught with complexity and conflict, we are told that our wellbeing relies on remaining as present as possible. But what if the key to being present lies in the past? In Wisdom of the Ancients, Neil Oliver takes us back in time, to grab hold of the ideas buried in forgotten cultures and early civilizations. From Laetoli footprints in Tanzania to Keralan rituals, stone circles and cave paintings, Oliver takes us on a global journey through antiquity. A master storyteller, drawing on immense knowledge of our ancient past, he distils this wisdom into twelve messages that have endured the test of time, and invites us to consider how these might apply to our lives today. The result is powerful and inspirational, moving and profound.
