Wise Counsel Research, Inc. is a Massachusetts public charity. Its mission is to discover and share knowledge about the role of wisdom in contemporary life, particularly on the subject of wealth.

“I discovered not only that I enjoyed my law practice, but that I was admirably adapted to it. I am by nature reserved, patient, of even temper and a good listener, and I love the challenge of domestic puzzles. I became a specialist in the mutiple prejudices under which Americans suffer in the spending of their money, according to whether it has been earned, married, or handed down, and I learned to stay within the framework of the sacred mores surrounding these categories while putting the dollars to work to the greatest advantage of the whole family. I even found that it was occasionally possible to persuade old New Yorkers that money could be used for pleasure.”  –The Rector of Justin by Louis Auchincloss.
