About
Written in the seventeenth century, THE ART OF WORLDLY WISDOM has become an underground best seller, valued for its timeless insights on how to make one's way in the world. The author, Baltasar Graci n, was a chaplain, confessor, college administrator, and professor who lived a courtier's life in the company of viceroys, aristocrats, statesmen, and military leaders. In three hundred maxims, Graci n offers sage advice on how to impress superiors, confound rivals, and get the most from subordinates. Like Sun Tzu's ART OF WAR, Machiavelli's PRINCE, and Lao Tzu's TAO TE CHING, Graci n's ART OF WORLDLY WISDOM is one of those rare books that serve as enlightening guides and companions for life.
