Rate this book
What is the secret to success? This is both a question and a quest we embark on throughout life, both personally and professionally. The good news is that this wisdom has been handed down over time, by history’s greatest thinkers.
In the Trial Warrior’s Book of Wisdom, 2,500 years of wisdom has been collected, considered, and condensed into bite-size pieces you can return to again and again.
With over 500 quotes, this compilation contains wisdom from some of the most influential people throughout history, including ancient Greek, Chinese, and Roman philosophers, America’s Founding Fathers, and various other leaders, lawyers, and theologians.
Amassing wisdom is a life-long pursuit, but for the serious thinker, its rewards are endless. Wisdom equips us with the tools to overcome life’s challenges, and to live a happier and more successful life—in and out of the courtroom. The secret to success is wisdom, and it’s all here waiting for you.
