"Many of the New Year’s Resolutions people make, like decreasing screen time, losing weight, or quitting smoking, really can be simplified to the principle of “making better decisions.” Another way of describing this capacity for better decision-making is to grow in the virtue of prudence, which is often defined as practical wisdom.
