The HumanWisdom app launches today.

LONDON, UK, November 16, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- London, November 16th – Sir David Attenborough, who gave an impassioned speech at COP26 said, “To continue, we humans need more than intelligence. We need wisdom”.

The Human Wisdom Project announced the launch of its HumanWisdom App today, which in addition to helping people live happier lives, could also help address the root cause of climate change. The human mind, driven by its need for pleasure to fill its inner emptiness, asks daily, “What can I do out there to make me feel good in here?”. This occurs without our awareness and drives our need for consumption, which contributes to climate change. By living with wisdom, which comes from a deeper self-understanding, we can live with a sense of peace, and consumption finds its rightful place. Our fear of the future recedes, and so does our need to accumulate more and more. Further, by understanding and putting aside our self-interest and attachment to our particular identities, we can come together and collaborate as one humanity to tackle the issue.

The Human Wisdom Project was founded by Dr Manoj Krishna, along with collaborators from around the world. He previously worked as a spine surgeon. The HumanWisdom app is a life companion and has 59 modules that guide people in a simple way to understand themselves and how their minds work. It can help people deal with the immediate challenges they face, like stress, but then takes them deeper to understand the origins of it in their thinking, so the problem does not recur. As our understanding of ourselves deepens, many of the problems that emerge from our thinking, like stress and anxiety, relationship conflict, addiction, and violence, can be more easily prevented and overcome. The HumanWisdom approach is not based on any ideology, but just looking at and learning about ourselves.

The Human Wisdom Project also works with children, who already have this wisdom within them. When children were asked how they could use their wisdom to deal with climate change they said - ''We need to find sources of pleasure that do not involve buying things”, ''If we could find an answer to our inner boredom, we would not need to consume so much'', and ''When I am bored, if I just stay with the feeling, it goes away''.

The following is a statement from Manoj Krishna - ''Our inner emptiness, which is common to all human beings, drives our need for pleasure and consumption. This is not wrong, just a fact we are not aware of, which needs to be understood. Living with wisdom allows us to consume what we need, and enables us to live in peace with ourselves, each other, and the earth. It can also boost our emotional intelligence, communication skills, and resilience but above all, allows us to live with compassion. It is human thinking that got us into this mess, and perhaps human wisdom may help us get out of it. The HumanWisdom app is a simple guide to learning about yourself and discovering your own wisdom''. To find out more about the HumanWisdom app, visit humanwisdom.me.
