In "Becoming Wise," Krista Tippett offers readers an extraordinary journey into the essence of what it means to live deeply and meaningfully. Drawing upon her rich experiences as a Peabody Award-winning broadcaster and insightful conversations from her renowned public radio program, "On Being," Tippett weaves a tapestry of wisdom that spans the spectrum of human thought and inquiry. From the hallowed whispers of poets and theologians to the groundbreaking ideas of scientists and activists, Tippett serves as both guide and companion, exploring the vast landscapes of human understanding and emotion. This book is not merely a collection of interviews; it is a curated exploration of the soul, a master class in the art of living, that challenges readers to ponder the profound questions of our time. "Becoming Wise" is an invitation to embrace the complexity of life, acknowledging the beauty and pain that come with the pursuit of wisdom. Tippett's narrative is a beacon of hope, asserting that amidst the tumult of our modern world, there exists a grounded and hopeful vision for humanity. She champions the idea that wisdom emerges not from the extraordinary, but through the ordinary moments of life, urging us to find connection, resilience, and redemption in our daily interactions. With elegance and empathy, Tippett encourages us to cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us, insisting on the transformative power of listening and the strength found in the communal quest for truth and beauty. "Becoming Wise" is more than a book; it is a compass for those seeking to navigate the complexities of life with grace, courage, and an unwavering commitment to growth.

Great book. - Matt Mullenweg
I can disagree with your opinion, it turns out, but I can’t disagree with your experience. And once I have a sense of your experience, you and I are in relationship, acknowledging the complexity in each other’s position, listening less guardedly. The difference in our opinions will probably remain intact, but it no longer defines what is possible between us.
— Krista Tippett, Becoming Wise
