In this much-anticipated final installment in the Stoic Virtues series, Ryan Holiday makes the case for the virtue on which all other virtues depend.

Of all the stoic virtues - courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom - wisdom is the most elusive. This is especially apparent in an age where reaction and idle chatter are rewarded, and restraint and thoughtfulness are unfashionable. The great statesman and philosophers of the past would not be fooled, as we are, by headlines or appearances or the primal pull of tribalism. They knew too much of history, of their own flaws, of the need for collaboration to do any of that. That's wisdom - and we need it more than ever.

Wisdom is Ryan Holiday's guiding principle, and Wisdom Takes Work is the culmination of all his work. Drawing on fascinating stories of the ancient and modern figures alike, Holiday shows how to cultivate wisdom through reading, self-education, and experience. Through the lives of Montaigne, Seneca, Joan Didion, Abraham Lincoln, and others, Holiday teaches us how to listen more than we talk, to think with nuance, to ruthlessly question our own beliefs, and to develop a method of self-education. He argues convincingly for the necessity of mental struggle and warns against taking shortcuts that deprive us of real knowledge. And he shows us how dangerous power and intelligence can be without the tempering influence of wisdom.

An absence of curiosity and prudence is a catastrophe for all of us, argues Ryan Holiday. This incredibly timely book both diagnoses the greatest problem of our current moment and offers solutions for the way forward. Wisdom is work - but it's worth it.

Actually helps dry mouth!
I’m giving this product 4.5/5. It works really well for dry mouth during sleep. I recommend starting with 1 tablet and adding a second one only if necessary. (I require 2 tablets at night). This is called “slightly sweet” and is relatively tasteless with a hint of sweetness. During daytime usage, I’ve been using 2 tablets at a time. The only issue I have during the day is that if I can’t drink on a regular basis I get the white coating from the tablets in the corners of my mouth. I do think that this is the next best product to use when taking sips of water isn’t possible. Works as stated and easily adheres to your gum line/partial tooth. I place them in the back of my mouth and they are not noticeable to others. Added bonus, they don’t leave a slimy coating on your teeth the way a mouth rinse does. Product performs better than expected! If you have dry mouth for any reason please consider giving these a try!!! I wish I would have known about them years ago!!!

Works for dry mouth
Suffer from dry mouth and these disc size tablets stick to my gums, helping keep my mouth moist through the night. Brown side sticks to your gum. Contain xylitol so s little sweet. Dentist recommended them.

PRICEY and sometimes don’t stay in place!
These have a wonderful mild flavor, no mint burn, moisten your mouth for several hours, and generally always stay put, in fact if you want it out before fully dissolved, it takes a little effort with your fingernail, because they are supposed to stick and stay in place! ALSO, I DO NOT PUT ON MY GUMLINE LIKE THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY, I STICK ON THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH FOR DISCREET CONFORT!! I really do recommend for DRY MOUTH!! I DO NOT CARE FOR THE SHARP EDGY METAL INDIVIDUAL PACKAGING AT ALL, but the bottle is very pricey!!

Absolutely work!
These are absolutely fantastic. Bygone are the days of sucking on some sugary sweet Candy. Xylo melts stick as they say they do. I have found that they don't stick to artificial teeth as well. They last for hours they're comfortable. The mint ones aren't overpowering. These are a dry mouth blessing. For sure use them at night and during the day.
