Vonnegut's A Man Without a Country, to define "wisdom" loosely.
Having read Andrew Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People", enhanced my life greatly. Surprising too. I was always a bit curious about it, but the title sounds so self-serving and manipulative. Sort of like "How to Hide the Fact from Others that You are a Douchebag". I remembered that Warren Buffet said something to the effect that his Andrew CarnegieCourse certificate was one of his most proud academic achievements. So while browsing a bookstore (when they existed), I read a bit and picked it up. Super simple stuff with very pragmatic arguments on why being nice is typically way better than being an ass.
