Choose Wisely : Practical Insights from Spiritual Traditions

Every day we are faced with decisions in our personal lives, workplaces, and volunteer activities. A clear and thorough process for decision-making is important for individuals and for organizations of all kinds, from families to unions, from NGOs to multinational corporations. Wise decision-making requires two key dimensions: a procedure that ensures depth and breadth in considerations and a set of criteria upon which to base judgments. In Choose Wisely, Gary J. Boelhower proposes a process and criteria for decision-making based on five core principles found throughout major religions of the world and informed by the reflection processes developed by Parker Palmer, David Bohm, David Cooperrider, and others. All-individuals and leaders of organizations alike-who strive to reach wise, compassionate decisions in individual and communal contexts and to put into action the foundational principles of servant leadership will benefit from Choose Wisely.
