This book explores the universal virtues of humility and wisdom, as well as the interdependence of those two qualities. The author then traces how western society gradually moved away from treating them as virtues and began to relegate them to the status of vices because they allegedly reflected weakness and relics of religion. Many of modern society's most serious problems have at their root, the decline of humility and wisdom. Modern culture glorifies egotism, arrogance and even narcissism. Virtual perception now replaces reality and balanced perspectives. A return to humility and wisdom holds society's best hope for survival. By pursuing humble wisdom, mankind can return to its national pursuit of altruism, and society can return to a more civilized and kinder reality. Instead of overindulging ourselves, we can rededicate ourselves to the service of others.

It’s been said that the law is a jealous mistress. She’s also irresistibly passionate and unpredictably cruel. In every attorney’s life, there comes a day when it’s no longer possible to keep up with her demands. In her wake comes the dreaded question, was it meaningful in the end? Was the love affair worth all the sacrifices and stress, the highs and lows? William Costopoulos decides that it’s time for his reckoning. Bill has won some incredible fights, making his mark on Pennsylvania history—and collecting a wealth of stories stranger than fiction. In this book, he recounts the most sensational highlights of his fifty-year professional history: from his beginnings as an assistant district attorney and the turn of fate that called him to criminal defense, to the notorious cases that made national headlines and saw him argue before some of America’s most powerful legislators. He is asked all the time whether he’d do it all over again if he had the chance. A criminal defense attorney takes some serious hits in the combative arena of the courtroom, even in the cases he wins. The anguish that comes with this calling has to stay under wraps so that all the jury sees is a confident fighter. It’s a tough call, but Bill Costopoulos has never been able to resist going one more round.

"In the early 1990s, a small group of "AIDS denialists," including a University of California professor named Peter Duesberg, argued against virtually the entire medical establishment's consensus that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Science thrives on such counterintuitive challenges, but there was no evidence for Duesberg's beliefs, which turned out to be baseless. Once researchers found HIV, doctors and public health officials were able to save countless lives through measures aimed at preventing its transmission"--
