It draws together leading international researchers and practitioners to combine an in-depth understanding of Gandhi's philosophy with the latest research from psychology and allied social sciences. Beginning with an overview of wisdom in the domain of scientific research and as it is understood in our everyday life, the book's editors further call attention to key cross cultural issues limiting its current scope. Amongst the topics explored are Gandhi's silence, fasting, vows, self-efficacy, self-control, and more, illustrating what he offers not only to the study of wisdom within psychology, but across a broad range of disciplines and professional enterprises. It is invaluable to students and scholars of Gandhian studies, the psychology of wisdom, management and peace psychology; as well to readers with a general interest in the application of Gandhi's wisdom today. 606 $aPolitical psychology 606 $aPositive psychology 606 $aPsychology, Industrial 606 $aReligion$xPhilosophy 606 $aPeace Psychology 606 $aPositive Psychology 606 $aWork and Organizational Psychology 606 $aPhilosophy of Religion 606 $aFilosofia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aPolitical psychology. 615 0$aPositive psychology. 615 0$aPsychology, Industrial. 615 0$aReligion$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aPeace Psychology. 615 24$aPositive Psychology. 615 24$aWork and Organizational Psychology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Religion. 615 7$aFilosofia 676 $a954.035092 676 $a954.035092 702 $aAgrawal$b Rita 702 $aKool$b Vinod K. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910523763703321 996 $aGandhi's wisdom$92915056 997 $aUNINA
