Wisdom, traditionally associated with old age, is found in people of all ages. So, what makes a person wise?
A new study confirms previous research that meditation is associated with wisdom. But surprisingly, it also finds that somatic, or physical, practices such as classical ballet might be linked to wisdom, too.
Researchers included ballet in the study “not expecting to find that it was associated with wisdom, but rather for comparison purposes,” says Patrick B. Williams, lead author and a postdoctoral researcher in the psychology department at the University of Chicago.
