How to make wise decisions

Four key characteristics as a part of a framework of wise reasoning

• intellectual humility, or recognition of the limits of our own knowledge
• appreciation of perspectives wider than the issue at hand
• sensitivity to the possibility of change in social relations
• compromise or integration of different attitudes and beliefs

the way to support wisdom in daily decisions

• look at scenarios from a third-party perspective(a third-person, 'observer' viewpoint), as though giving advice to a friend
• recognize others' perspectives and search for a compromise
• ego-decentering
