I’ve been reading – and re-reading – through Proverbs the past several days.  I have no specific aim in doing this. I have just sensed I am lacking wisdom and perspective.

Billy Graham has said that, in addition to whatever else he was reading at the time, it was his pattern to read five Psalms and one chapter of Proverbs each day.  Then, at the beginning of each new month, he would begin again reading through the Psalms and Proverbs.  According to Graham: Psalms “teach me how to get along with God;” Proverbs “teach me how to get along with my fellow man.”

It sounds like sage counsel to me.
