In a world where skepticism and cynicism have reached a boiling point, renowned author and former director of the National Institutes of Health Francis Collins offers a timely and thought-provoking guide to navigating the complexities of our modern era. The Road to Wisdom is a deeply personal and insightful exploration of the four pillars of wisdom: truth, science, faith, and trust. Drawing on his extensive experience in science, philosophy, and theology, Collins presents a compelling case for the interdependence of these pillars, and shows how they can be leveraged to foster greater understanding, empathy, and cooperation in our increasingly fractured society. With its accessible and engaging prose, this book provides a much-needed framework for addressing the pressing issues of our time, from public health and partisanship to climate change and threats to democracy. Ultimately, The Road to Wisdom is a powerful call to action, urging readers to re-examine their assumptions and work towards a more harmonious and enlightened world.
