About the Author
Dr. Laura Gabayan is a world-renowned physician and researcher. She is regarded internationally as an expert in research. In her book, Common Wisdom, she scientifically defines wisdom as 8 elements.
She emigrated to the US at the age of 6 and attended UCLA for all her schooling.
Beginning in 2014, Dr. Gabayan focused on deeper questions surrounding the meaning of life and wisdom. She found that in the past, the age-old topic of wisdom was approached anecdotally and subjectively. She then created The Wisdom Research Project where she interviewed 60 wise individuals across North America. This multi-year project led to the book, Common Wisdom, a fascinating and concise explanation of how to live a more meaningful life and have wisdom.
As described in the book and through the eyes of interviewees, having wisdom means having a deeper perspective of life…a life of more meaning and value.
Common Wisdom answers these important questions:
- What is wisdom?
- What constitutes wisdom?
- How can we harness the power of wisdom to improve our everyday life?
Common Wisdom 8 Scientific Elements of a Meaningful Life
“For years I was interested in understanding wisdom, but did not know how to define it. Achieving wisdom is the goal of all the world religions and mankind as a whole. Yet the definition of wisdom was so subjective. I conducted a research project and extensively interviewed 60 wise individuals throughout North America and summarized the 8 elements of wisdom in my book, Common Wisdom. This is a methodical and scientific way to define wisdom. Enjoy!”
