"Christian readers in particular will appreciate Britt's genuine guidance driven by deep faith, but any reader can appreciate his testament to picking up life-changing wisdom from those one knows best."
- Publishers Weekly
"I've always been fascinated by the earliest days and years of life--the way children absorb the world around them like sponges. Physical changes aside, they mature, develop and grow most dramatically by learning from the small world around them. Every day they discover deep, lasting truths about themselves, the world, and their place in it. Over time and especially into adulthood, as our world expands, our curiosity, sadly, tends to fade.
Chess Britt has therefore hit a bull's eye on one of the most vital aspects of personal success: the lifelong search for wisdom. While the most important lessons are always closest to home, the journey never stops."
- Josh Ellis, Editor-in-Chief, SUCCESS magazine
"I had the privilege of working with Chess for over 30 years! In all those years, the characteristic I most admired in him was his wisdom. I always referred to him as the 'Wise Old Owl' of our company. His wisdom and leadership helped guide us through the toughest of times. In this book, Chess distills this timeless wisdom into down-to-earth principles that everyone can benefit from."
- John Addison, CEO & President, Addison Leadership Group, Inc., former Co-CEO, Primerica
"In Seek to Be Wise, Britt gives away the secret to a life well lived: above all else, 'Seek to be wise!' This book is filled with stories illustrating timeless bits of wisdom he has acquired along his life's path. In a humble, yet insightful way, Britt shares 31 maxims--timeless truths--he picked up from family, friends, co-workers, and popular culture. This is not a book you'll want to read and put on a shelf; this is a book you'll want to refer to again and again."
- Dr. Bary Fleet, Life coach, educator, speaker, and author of the best-selling book, Move into Your Magnificence: 101 Invitations to a Life of Passion and Joy
