This storehouse of knowledge can help us make better decisions, cultivate closer relationships, and enhance the quality of our work.
It can help us be better partners and parents, better artists and writers, better entrepreneurs and leaders.
How do we tap into this deep well of insight?
We need to listen to others who know more than us and to learn from those who see more clearly than we do.
Whether it's a veteran member of our profession, a seasoned parent or grandparent, or a couple with decades of marriage behind them, other people can provide us with tools, expertise, and insight, incalculably valuable assets in any life.
