WISDOM AND EFFECTIVENESS: After making a complete mess of the first part of her life, Beth set out on a journey to gain insight, so she could become a wiser, better, happier person.

By studying and exploring science, spirituality, philosophy, psychology, and sociology, Beth has been able to formulate new ways of thinking, develop her own insights, and transform her life. 

Beth wanted to share the wisdom she has learned, so other people could learn to be smarter and make better choices, too. So she set up Wiseism.com, a resource to help people use wisdom to improve their lives.

Wiseism has spawned a series of books, including 'Instant Wisdom' and 'How to Create Your Ideal Life'.
