This book encourages the reader to make a quest for wisdom his or her highest priority. Using the biblical book of Proverbs as its inspiration, the author sheds light on what is the essential foundation of wisdom. The book also seeks to answer the question how to become wise and whether we become wiser when we get older and whether one can learn wisdom in a school.

The reader learns about some key characteristics of a wise person. Several chapters look at various specific ways wisdom is becoming manifest in one's life, such as in the way we handle money, develop friendships and relate to one's spouse. The author points out that wisdom is more than speaking wise words or doing wise things, and that it is a way of life, in an intimate relationship with the Creator. This book encourages the reader to get wisdom and to grow in becoming a wiser person. Each chapter ends with discussion questions to make the content applicable to one's personal life or to be used in a group discussion.
