About this topic

Experience does not automatically tell us what a new situation requires. Something that helped once may fail under different circumstances, and being certain can sometimes prevent us from noticing a detail that changes the decision.

This collection explores patient judgement, uncertainty and lessons that become clearer with time. It asks how to listen, reconsider an opinion and balance competing concerns, without treating wisdom as having an answer ready for every problem or never making a mistake.
