While many business owners and entrepreneurs possess intelligence and ability, wisdom is far rarer and more precious.

You needn’t journey to a mountaintop in India to commune with a Swami to accrue the benefits and peace of mind that wisdom affords.

Dr. Laura Gabayan, a veteran emergency medicine physician and associate professor at the UCLA School of Medicine, has made a study of wisdom, including how to define and cultivate it.

Dr. Gabayan recently published her findings in Common Wisdom: 8 Scientific Elements of a Meaningful Life.   

The eight characteristics are:

• Resilience

• Kindness

• Positivity

• Spirituality

• Tolerance

• Humility

• Creativity

• Curiosity

Wisdom, Dr. Gabayan reports, “is a state of being, a mindset.”

Those who master its lessons will lead a more fulfilling, meaningful, and prosperous life.
