Crowdsourcing wisdom

Here are some of the references referring to the two wisdom models I mentioned:
Baltes, P.B. (1987). Theoretical propositions of life-span developmental psychology: on the dynamics between growth and decline. Developmental Psychology, 23, 611-626.
Baltes, P.B., Staudinger, U.M., Maercker, A., & Smith, J. (1995). People nominated as wise: A comparative study of wisdom-related knowledge. Psychology and Aging, 10, 155-166.
Sternberg, R.J. (1998). A balance theory of wisdom. Review of General Psychology, 2, 347-365.
Sternberg, R. J. (2003). Wisdom, intelligence, and creativity synthesized. New York: Cambridge University Press.

I've attached one of my old powerpoints on wisdom, where these and other prominent psychological models are described, plus a recent chapter by Bob Sternberg on wisdom education. He wrote it for my new book Oxford Handbook of Happiness that is not out yet; his chapter is still in Word format, so please do not distribute.
