    BEN LYTLE is a self-made serial entrepreneur and CEO known for being ahead of the curve. He has launched seven successful companies to date, creating billions in market value, including NYSE-listed Acordia, Inc., and Anthem (now Elevance Health), with a current market value of more than $120 billion. He is a healthcare policy expert who chaired or served on state and presidential healthcare commissions and a governance leader with extensive public company experience. Ben has identified five change forces converging to create a New Reality and recommends optimal adaptive actions for individuals, businesses, and social institutions. Wisdom is easier to develop than generally assumed and can be accelerated. It has been taught for thousands of years, and literature is abundant. Technology can make wisdom easily accessible to learn and apply in decision-making. A growth mechanism inside everyone awaits to assist and guide. Routine unconscious practices performed consciously and intentionally accelerate wisdom. Adults can develop wisdom regardless of age, educational background, or social standing. Little or no expense and nominal daily time are required. The pursuit of wisdom is personal and private, with no need to disclose to others or join anything. All that is needed is a heartfelt, unwavering commitment to becoming your best while equally serving others.
