Some perspectives on wisdom, from both psychological research and my Nana. It turns out that both reveal it's much more nuanced than saying "older people are wiser" – there are different types of wisdom, wisdom is positively correlated with personality traits and wisdom can even be learned.

BrainCraft was created by Vanessa Hill (@nessyhill) and is brought to you by PBS Digital Studios. Talking psychology, neuroscience & why we act the way we do.
