Synopsis
Wisdom of One is an exceptional new book of quotes unlike any that has gone before. Author Thomas E. Kelly chose each of the 1400 plus quotes (from a wide range of thinkers who span two millennia) for the existential-1st point of view. The result is not a depressing, fatalistic work that reflects the popular misconception of the existentialist ideal. Instead, Wisdom of One provokes thought, offers insight, promotes self-determination, and celebrates living life in the present. Readers will find Kelly's short but well-written introduction especially enlightening.
