Beth Burgess

I write original articles and books about how to live more wisely. They are a blend of science, psychology and life experience. Wiseism is about doing what you need to, to get you the results you desire. It’s about finding ways to do things better, and grow as an individual. It’s about using wisdom to improve your way of thinking, doing, being, growing and succeeding.
